Oh, by all means, let's not UPSET Joe Lieberman

to think that the people of connecticut elected this guy, and now he's blackmailing not only his former party, but also the entire goddam country... if there is a definition of a treasonous bastard, it would have to be joe lieberman...

Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Chairman Lieberman is making it clear he does not want Iraq-related amendments attached to a bill scheduled for floor action this week that would implement unfulfilled recommendations of the 9/11 Commission. Democratic leaders seemed inclined today to hold off introducing Iraq-related amendments to the bill, possibly to avoid upsetting Lieberman and moving him closer to switching party affiliations, which would swing the Senate back to GOP control.

In a Wall Street Journal op-ed today, Lieberman expressed his desire not to have a debate over Iraq, saying “let us declare a truce in the Washington political war over Iraq until” the “end of summer.”

As Glenn Greenwald notes, Lieberman wrote “almost exactly the same op-ed, on the same Wall St. Journal page, more than a year ago,” in effect arguing “that it is therefore our duty as Americans (still) to keep our mouths shut and be led to Victory.”

he is a miserable, rotten, son-of-a-bitch, and, trust me, i'm being quite restrained... a truce on the iraq debate until the end of summer...? joe lieberman is a poisonous toad masquerading as a human being...

(thanks to think progress...)
