Joe Lieberman Likens John McCain To JFK

CNN:

Sen. Joseph Lieberman, I-Connecticut, compared presumptive Republican nominee John McCain to a surprising figure on Sunday -- Democratic icon John F. Kennedy.

"I'm a Democrat who came to the party in the era of President John F. Kennedy," Lieberman told George Stephanopoulos on ABC's "This Week. "It's a strange turn of the road when I find among the candidates running this year that the one, in my opinion, closest to the Kennedy legacy, the John F. Kennedy legacy, is John S. McCain."

Joe L. is more than just annoying, he is a delusional asshole and a traitor. It's time to declare all out war on this scab. He stated himself many times that one of the reasons he supports McCain is Mccain IS THE ONLY ONE WHO ASKED HIM FOR IT. No one else would want it. Now he brings JFK's name into this?
Joe L. - you are garbage on the level of Karl Rove or Tom Delay - and it's tough for me to come up with anything more putrid than that. Welcome to their club - the lowest of the low.

So this is how the left treats their own when they try to cross the aisle. Interesting.

[FrankFurter]

Yah - I know what you mean, why can't we just can't fire him like Georgie fires all his disagreein' Generals.

[YellerDawg]

No, we'd like for Lie-berman to cross the aisle and never come back. After this fall's elections, he can do just that. We don't need any Bush collaborators on our side.

[JessWonderin]

There are times when I think Joe is a pandering embarassing fool . . . then he speaks and confirms it.

[jdfast]

I want to puke. Was Joe on his knees under John's desk at the time? Joe just needs to just bet a pair of knee pads and be done with it. If McCain wins in November, Joe will be the first lady.

[highlyamused]

Ack!! That's a visual I want removed from my head.

[WLA]

This is the most ridiculous thing that I have heard today. Not surprising, though. It seems like every candidate in every race since 1964 has surrogates likening them to JFK.

[SCG]

If you saw the interview, and I must confess I couldn't watch the entire interview, or I'd smash the screen. Not only did he consider himself and Mc Cain JFK like. He went on to complain how the Democratic party has been taken over by a fringe few......

I took that as a sign of progress!

[WorkingClass]

Oh that Lieberman. He's such a silly senator.

[nellie]

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah!

[GWHayduke]

So let me get this straight: according to Lieberman, McCain's ideal woman is Marilyn Monroe and he's banging starlets behind his wife's back?

[butchie65]

No, but, I think he is banging Susan Collins. He spends more time with her than his wife.

[WLA]

Replace Marilyn with lobbyists.

"Joe Lieberman Likens John McCain To JFK"
Joe jumps ahead of Bill on stupid McCain compliments.

Joe Lieberman 4.

Bill Clinton 3.

[chinaskee]

One need only read JFK's innaugural address to know what Lieberman is referring to. It's that part where talked about sparing no expense to defend this country from its enemies. And the Muslim terrorists are our enemies whether you lunkheads want to accept it or not.

[batgirlevi]

Taking JFK's words out of context is desperate and pathetic. Anyone who supports the rethug party at this point is among the most pathetic non learners on earth.

[ajax2]

I think it was bomb Iran, and meet me at the Rapture, that Joe was referring to.

[who38]

And Joe is a friend?

[jinjinpinti]

chinaskee: Aw, are you scared of the big tewwible Awab terrorwists. Qwick go get some duct tape and warap it around your head before they swim into view.

[3443649]

Sweet Jesus !! Wonder what is mixed into that funny stuff that Joe seams to chew every now and then ? Or is he too, into senility, as is the dude he speaks of ?

[LiarLiarIraqsOnFire]

Kennedy told Great Britain to piss off when they wanted to invade Iran because Iran nationalized their oilfields and screwed British Petroleum, and Revisionist History Major, Joe Lieberman wants me to believe that JFK would support 100 years of War for Empire in the Middle East.

What's next, John McCain is the next FDR?

[ornery]

Alzheimer's is no respecter of party--it affects Repigs and Indies equally.

[goofy2]

Lieberman is so blinded by his Middle East pro-Israel orientation that he sees few other issues clearly. He has gone from mildly bad to notably worse. His characterization of the Democratic party as controlled by the left is simply a ploy to justify what he is doing and what he might do next.

[DatelessNerd]

"Joe Lieberman is a good man, a good Democrat, and he'll do you proud."
--Bill Clinton, campaigning in Connecticut against Ned Lamont, 2006.

[SCG]

Yeah there's the TV ad he made for Lieberman too floating around YouTube.....DLC stick together

[SouthernYankeeBelle]

Joe the traitor is not a democrat. He is a fox in sheeps clothing. Thank the people of his state for that mistake. Joe you have been drinking the cool aid cause McCain is no JFK. You really want to be his VP. Please if he askes you take it. I hope the next time around the people of your state smart up and not reelect you. You are awful.
