Part one
Part two
Joe Lieberman did not publicly decry Sarah Palin's remarks. Not once. He said nothing to defend the man who is now his President, and he should feel nothing but shame for it.
He is lying to save his own skin and it is stomach churning to witness. Simply put the man has no honor.
It is almost impossible for me to listen to Lieberman anymore.
When he speaks all I hear is this passage from Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar", spoken by Brutus in defense of his decision to assist in the slaying of his friend:
Romans, countrymen, and lovers! hear me for my
cause, and be silent, that you may hear: believe me
for mine honour, and have respect to mine honour, that
you may believe: censure me in your wisdom, and
awake your senses, that you may the better judge.
If there be any in this assembly, any dear friend of
Caesar's, to him I say, that Brutus' love to Caesar
was no less than his. If then that friend demand
why Brutus rose against Caesar, this is my answer:
--Not that I loved Caesar less, but that I loved
Rome more.
In the end of course the citizens rose up and burned the house of Brutus. I would not wish such an end for Senator Lieberman, but that he needs to be stripped of his Chairmanship there should be no doubt.
He is a danger to the Democrats so long as they depend on him, and therefore in my opinion he should be carried aloft over to the side of the Republicans and unceremoniously deposited at their door. After all it is crystal clear that is where he belongs. And the Democrats can certainly make do without him.
I can't stand Lieberman either. Obama told the Senate Democrats to play nice with him for now only because he is useful to get his initial agenda through. Trust me, once he is no longer of use to Obama and the Dems he will be gone. I imagine whoever runs against him in Connecticut next time will use his ridiculous campaign footage over and over. His time in the Senate is short.
