Yo Joe!

Yes, looks like Joe F'ckin Lieberman is on the fast track for Biggest Douchebag In Congress again.

Connecticut Sen. Joe Lieberman, the Democratic Party's vice presidential candidate in 2000 and now an independent who is one of John McCain's strongest supporters, will speak at the Republican National Convention, an official said.

Lieberman will deliver a speech when Republicans gather in St. Paul, Minn., to nominate McCain for president, a party official told The Associated Press on Wednesday. The official requested anonymity because a formal announcement had yet to be made, and Lieberman's office declined to comment.

Yeah, and this surprised a grand total of &$@#*%$ nobody. As John Aravosis says at AmericaBlog,

Come the next Congress, when Barack Obama is president, Joe Lieberman will be kicked out of the Democratic caucus. And if he's not kicked out, there will be a civil war in the Democratic party until he is. The man is nothing more than a vindictive shell of his former self (of course, we did all make him lose his nomination, so at least Lieberman will have to live with that the rest of his life, being kicked out of his own party). He's no longer trustworthy, and he's now stabbing our party and our candidate in the back. He shouldn't just have his committee chairmanship taken away from him, he should be pushed into the minority party where he can be happy and powerless with his fellow Republicans.

Democrats need to turn on Lieberman now, because in a couple of weeks there will be never-ending stories about how moderate and mainstream Lieberman is, and how that's the reason nobody likes him in our party any more, that's the reason he's speaking at the convention. No, the man is a traitor to his own party, as he's now shown. He also seems to have a penchant for war in the Middle East. And I'm not sure the American people know that - the degree to which Lieberman is responsible for our current, and possibly our future, wars in the region. He and McCain go hand in hand.

I am so looking forward to this guy getting his just desserts. Hell, I hope he is McSame's Veep. I relish the thought.
