I kept my mouth shut last week when our insightful media was heaping
praise on Joe Lieberman for his shuttle diplomacy of bringing three moderate Republicans on board to support a stimulus bill that, while better than nothing, provides less stimulus than it should and more poorly-designed tax cuts than it should (again, I'm looking for the explanation of why we're providing a tax break for new car purchases). Apparently it was all the evidence that was needed to prove that President Obama was right to support Joe Lieberman's effort to retain his chairmanships, and President Obama was now being rewarded with a helping hand from Lieberman. Or something like that. (It certainly couldn't be an example of Joe Lieberman grandstanding and making himself out to be indispensable. Naah.)
OK, so I'll be fair - it could be both: Joe grandstanding, made possible by Obama's graciousness. Both completely in character.
But I cannot keep silent about Holy Joe's
latest foray into international affairs, now that he has
traveled to Israel to give credibility to Avigdor Lieberman, leader of the vile Israel Beiteinu party. Again, completely in character.
Lieberman is an awful, horrible person. Which one? You decide.
P.S. Neither one gets a picture.
