Goodbye, Joe

"Lieberman concedes to Lamont, vows to run in November" (CNN)

Give it up, Joe. The Democrats in Connecticut have spoken. They don't want you. They don't want a Republican in Democrats' clothing.

They don't want a Democrat who shares a kiss with the President -- a President that has destroyed our country for years to come.

They don't want a Democrat who publicly chastised President Clinton for an extramarital affair; yet won't chastise President Bush for sending over 2500 Americans to their deaths in a war based on lies and misinformation; for illegally spying on American citizens; for authorizing torture of captured enemy soldiers, etc., etc., etc. How can getting a blowjob be worse than all this?

Connecticut Democrats don't want a Senator who opposes gay marriage with the same vitriol used by the Christian Right.

Go home, Joe. You've had a distinguished career. Three-term senator, came within 500 votes of being the first Jewish vice president. Nice resume.

But you're done. Don't embarrass yourself and your party by running as an independent in November. All that can possibly accomplish is to split the Democratic vote and hand the seat to the Republicans. Since you're practically a Republican, maybe that's what you want.

But you have no chance of winning. The people have spoken, and continuing to run just shows you as a sore loser, a megalomaniac who cares more about holding on to power than your state, your party, your country.

Go home Joe.

Actually, all the signs point to him winnning on his new ticket. Too bad for you, eh?

Three months ago, the polls all had him winning the Democratic primary by around 25 points. So I'm not convinced he's going to win this, either. More and more Democrats are going to start wondering why the Republicans are so gung-ho to re-elect this guy who was their VP opponent in 2000.

As Connecticut's voters -- one of the most liberal populations in this country -- realize that Joe is just a Republican in disguise, his numbers will begin to plummet. He's also going to run out of money a lot faster than Ned Lamont, particularly now that the Democratic Party machinery is in the Lamont corner.

So I'm not crying in my beer just yet. Come November, I think Holy Joe will be a private citizen again.
