Reid and Lieberman talk

During the phone call, I wish that Harry Reid said something about throwing Lieberman out of our Party, but it appears he kept it civil:

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., defended Connecticut Sen. Joe Lieberman on Wednesday after the former Democratic vice presidential nominee accepted a speaking slot at next month's Republican convention in Minnesota.

"He has a close personal relationship with John McCain. I don't fully understand why he does," said Reid, who said Lieberman called Tuesday from the Republic of Georgia to alert him to the move.

I told him last night, 'You know, Joe, I can't stand John McCain.' He said, 'I know you feel that way,' " Reid said.

But Reid said he would continue to resist calls from the Democratic Party's base to strip Lieberman, now an independent, of his Senate positions for his disloyalty.

Lieberman

Lieberman = douche

John McCain can have Lieberman

I'm sure picking him to run with you will go over so well with your base. After all, this was a man so doctrinal Democrat that he was chosen to be run as Vice President in 2000.

In fact, this is mentioned in the article:

“Conservatives would be pissed as hell – I think you would have a revolt, but sometimes John does what John wants to do,” the McCain adviser said.

Yes, yes, they would - it hasn't been so long ago that he was Sen. Juan McCain.

Dump Joe Lieberman

Via Wonkette:

An angry Connecticut Democrat says that he will rent a very large floating rat and display it outside the XCel Energy Center in St. Paul if Joe Lieberman decides to attend the Republican National Convention.

The guy's also started a webpage: DumpJoe.com, which contains hillarious pictures of Joe and GWB. I can't wait until Connecticut has another shot at dumping Joe.
