Too funny for words. Read below the fold...

For those of you who insist on believing that Joe Lieberman is still something other than a Senatorial colleague of Barack Obama, that he continues to be some kind of mentor to Senator Obama, welcome news that Obama isn't afraid to call Lieberman on his Joementum.

On Wednesday, Joe Lieberman published a piece on the opinion pages of WSJ which essentially accused the entirety of foreign policy positions held by the current Democratic Party of being essentially a stab in the back to the entirety of foreign policy positions of the Democratic Party of FDR, Truman, and JFK. Interestingly, LBJ wasn't included in the litany of Democratic golden oldies. Joe may have succeeded in performing a lobotomy on himself, resulting in a weird sort of frontal stupidity, but that doesn't mean he isn't still wily. Read below the fold...

In apparrent response to the Senate's passing of Senate Amendment 3017, for which 22 Democrats should be ashamed, Iran has responded: Read below the fold...

As Woody informed us the Iran amendment passed with edits as Sarah pointed out.

A nice little amendment to H.R. 1585 by Senators Kyl and Lieberman regarding Iran:

Not only is the language familiar, the implications are downright frightening.

The amendment adds Section 1535: SENSE OF SENATE ON IRAN.

Most important are the following subsections to 1535(b): Read below the fold...

If "better" is the word that I want. It's a two-fer:

Someone like former Sen. Jack Danforth, R-Mo., for example, "might be too liberal for the base," said Hunter College political scientist Kenneth Sherrill, referring to Republican conservatives who make up President Bush's core supporters.

Remember, to these Christianist loons, the worse off life gets, the better, because it's a sign that the End Times are near!

And these are the people America's littlest Senator, Ho Lieberman (I-Likud), likes to party with. Hilarity ensues. Read below the fold...

Via Big Orange, FUX is blasting some email:

The O'Reilly Factor plans an update on issues involving DailyKos website the story for Monday.

There are some disturbing images on the DailyKos depicting Sen. Joe Lieberman and others along with some very offensive language. We are asking for statements regarding this issue from each of the Democratic candidates planning to attend the YearlyKos convention.

Because maybe if Holy Joe can see what a hard-on really looks like, or possibly even experience one for himself, he won't have to overcompensate by helping his good friend and fellow Chickenhawk George Bush start a war with Iran.

Can we drop Joe Lieberman on Iran?

I don't mean metaphorically. I mean put him in the cargo hold or bomb bay of some muscular, codpiece swelling iron bird, and then release him over the city of Tehran. Of course, we would give him a parachute--we're not brutes, for goodness sake. He would be our gift to the Iranian poeple. They could use him as a door stop or make a kite out of him.

Perhaps he could lead the Iranian faithful in prayer.

Short answer, yes: On Iraq, Brownback makes more sense than Lieberman. Longer answer, maybe no difference, when it comes to voting for a Republican or a Democrat in 2008.

But the real headline from this Sunday’s foxy witches brew of a rightwing stew, minus eye of Newt today, but just as noxious, probably should be this: William Kristol single-handedly redefines constitutional duties of U.S. Congress. Read below the fold...

Pairs with Maine Girl Susan Collins (R-Protorture) in yet another Bipartisan wankfest:

There's a call for a new congressional advisory group to help forge a new direction for the U-S in Iraq.
Senators Joe Lieberman and Susan Collins want it to be made up of the bipartisan leadership of the five Senate panels that deal with national security.

They say the group would meet regularly to discuss the latest developments in Iraq while formulating recommendations for the president.
