Joe Cheater-man

Steve M. at NMMNB observes that Joe F'ckin Lieberman's half-assed statement that he's thinking about actually not being the member of the Dem caucus to kill Obamacare in the Senate is part of a larger pattern of being a complete assclown, because the Dems refuse to actually punish the guy.

And what evidence is there that anything like that would actually happen? What evidence is there that he would be punished by Democrats -- ever, for anything?

Lieberman's like a member of a married couple who's always cheating, and not even trying to conceal it, then taunting his spouse with stories about what great sex he had in that motel. The Democratic Party is the spouse who covers up insecurity by angrily telling Lieberman that maybe he should just get the hell out and be with the person he had the affair with if the sex was so damn great -- but, in reality, the Democrats really couldn't bear that, so they do whatever will make Lieberman happy. And Lieberman knows the Democrats will always do that; he milks that for everything it's worth, so he never leaves.

And he keeps cheating.

This is not a healthy relationship. But I strongly doubt it's going to get any healthier.

Not until one side or the other leaves the abusive relationship for good. And I'd know which one I'd like to see gone for good from the Senate.

Does anyone here honestly think Lieberman isn't going to stab Obama in the back here?
