We won’t have Joe Lieberman to kick around anymore

According to an “insider” report, Droopy Dawg is packing it in; he will not stand for reelection in 2012. He’s scheduled a press conference to announce his future plans tomorrow. This raises a couple of troubling questions:

1) Who will dust John McCain’s wattles and fluff Lindsey Graham’s Bette Davis commemorative needlepoint throw pillows?

2) Will the WrestleMania lady run again?

Lieberman redeemed himself somewhat with his efforts on the DADT repeal, but I’ll never forget what a colossal douchebag he was during the 2008 election or what a gigantic, throbbing hemorrhoid he was during the health care thingie.

If this rumor proves true, good riddance to the sanctimonious, mewling windbag.

I first misheard this as Letterman was going to resign. And I was a little sad.

That’s not very clear upon re-reading. I will make an edit. Thanks, Brit!

No, no. This was before I read your post!

So are he and Kay Bailey Hutchison gonna run together as “moderate independents” in 2012?

The “No Labels” boys are quivering with anticipation that he’ll be their standard-bearer in 2012.

Oh Gawd, ANOTHER Linda McMahon run? I’m not sure CT and I could take another round of CampaignMania. Especially if Ned Lamont decides to run again too. UGH.

Any Tex Avery fans here?

(It’s not really o/t, given the image.)

Lieberman, like all too many of our elected officials, is only interested in Lieberman & what interests Lieberman.

Wow. If it weren’t for the DADT repeal I’d be doing the happy dance. Wonder if he’s decided to run for President.

Throbbing hemorrhoid? Mewling windbag?

Don’t sugarcoat it, hon’.

1) Who will dust John McCain’s wattles and fluff Lindsey Graham…

Coulda stopped there, I think.

@zhak—a friend turned me onto Tex Avery. Melikey!

Droopy Dawg, good riddance. He was a stand-up guy in pushing for repeal of DADT, but I, too, will not forget his craven behavior during the 2008 campaign and the healthcare reform kerfuffle.
