Lieberman Says Bombing Iran ‘Has An Appeal To It’»

[Ichingcarpenter]

On right-winger Bill Bennett’s radio show this morning, Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-CT) expressed his openess to bombing Iran, saying that there is “an appeal to it.” Discussing the West Virginia primary results, Bennett praised what he claimed was Sen. Hillary Clinton’s (D-NY) transformation into his “style” of politician, which he said is someone who “throws down a shot of liquor and bombs Iran.”

Lieberman whole-heartedly endorsed the “appeal” of the hawkish caricature Bennett had created:

BENNETT: Listen, I give her credit. She has found her…three things. She’s found her voice. He is very much in the background now, it’s not this, you know, ventriloquial thing, it’s definitely her voice.

LIEBERMAN: That’s true.

BENNETT: And Joe, you know, this is my style. This is a girl who puts on her pearls, goes down, throws down a shot of liquor and bombs Iran, you know. This is…lookout Mrs. Bennett, this is my kind of girl.

LIEBERMAN: Hehehe, it does have an appeal to it

1. Not exactly what he said actually

He said that a girl who was willing to bomb Iran was appealing. Still pretty reprehensible though. Certainly that statement has pretty much turned me off of Clinton.

Someone needs to send this to Harry Reid who said he would be watching
Lieberman closely last Friday.

4. Lieberman Needs To Shut Up And Sit The Fuck Down, Sir

Looking forward to his expulsion from the Democratic caucus after the election this fall, when he will be without leverage, or friends....

I hope my post doesn't get deleted for that.

16. Lieberman never met a war he didn't like for his own profit and

power. He is a "couch warrior extraordinaire". He is one of the most dangerous men in the Senate.

13. Until we have a larger majority in the Senate (hopefully sooner, rather than later), I don't think

much can be done to rid ourselves of Lieberman (I-Israel). But good grief, when he has outlived his usefulness I certainly hope Senate Dems come down HARD on him.

He is treacherous.

14. The smell of roasted human flesh is so fragrant

Lieberman needs to bottle it and wear it as cologne.
