A Surprise Setback?


This is a surprise setback? Really? That's the best the Times can do?

In a surprise setback for Democratic leaders, Senator Joseph I. Lieberman, independent of Connecticut, said on Sunday that he would vote against the health care legislation in its current form.

What's it going to take for the Democrats to kick him out of their caucus?

Oh, wait, don't answer that.

But but... S-P....

We want it to fail, right, because it's such a disaster bill, right? Therefore, Lieberman is a good guy who is gonna help make this fail. What am I getting wrong here?...

It would not be the

The Times' style to say: "As predictable as the rising sun, the notoriously treacherous Senator Lieberman double-crossed the naïve Senate leadership by refusing to vote for the bill after they had gutted it into worthlessness to appease his objections."

The traditional answer to the answer to your question,

the one you said not to answer is, partially "a dead girl or live boy'.

just sayin'.

I don't know whose face upsets me more;

...Lieberman or Bush; but both evoke a visceral reaction in me.

maybe Joe can be removed for senility

Update [2009-12-14 14:38:38 by Jerome Armstrong]:

No one can solve Joe Lieberman's problem but himself imo. There's not a smaller man on the national stage than Joe himself:

Lieberman said in a 2006 debate against Ned Lamont. "And what I'm saying to the people of Connecticut, I can do more for you and your families to get something done to make health care affordable, to get universal health insurance."
