McCain To Pick Joe Lieberman For VP Slot

Washington—After years and years of taking it in the shorts by moderate Republicans, John McCain has decided to pick Joe Lieberman as his Vice Presidential running mate. This move breaks a long standing history of Republican tradition, and throws the Republican Party into utter chaos.

The move, made after months of pandering to the left, is all part of the McCain strategy to reach out to Democrats and feed his out of control ego. The McCain camp had thought long and hard about selecting Hillary Clinton, but agreed that making that move might be going too far. So, the Lieberman choice was a virtual compromise to his otherwise “maverick” behavior.

“You see,” McCain fired, “this is my election. Bush stole what was rightfully mine. And we’re doing it my way. Understand! It’s all about me!”

Many conservative talk radio hosts have been outspoken, noting that since McCain is no conservative, he should at least pick a conservative for his Vice Presidential candidate. The Lieberman pick is a move that is giving those conservatives a “fickle finger of fate.”

“I can’t believe he did this,” yelled a perturbed Mark Levin. “This loser—and that’s what he is, a loser—could’ve picked a conservative for four years down the road. But he can forget about my vote! You hear me, McCain. You’re as out of control as the Supreme Court!”

“After his Marxist behavior on CEO’s,” quipped Limbaugh, “this really doesn’t surprise me at all. He’s been trying to stick it to the Republican Party since 2000. We are so screwed, and I can’t overstate that enough!”

“The ninth ring of hell is devoted to John McCain,” blasted Ann Coulter. “He is a despicable, spineless jellyfish, and I can’t wait to see him burn!”

“I don’t give a rat’s behind as to what Levin, Limbaugh, Coulter or Free Republic says,” belted a pissed McCain. “I have a spot on my left, lower cheek for all of them to kiss. So bend over and kiss it!”

Despite the comments from many conservatives, it has become obvious that Senator McCain is not a conservative, nor will he ever be, and any hopes beyond this primary season is just that…hope.

Lieberman has way too much class to accept the slot from Juan

According to that logic, Kerry had too much class to give the slot to 'Juan', who apparently wanted it.

[And it is difficult to see John 'I started a joke' Cary having much class at all.]

Good advice...but I am SO scared of who McInsane might really choose.

Maybe the governor of Alaska....she would give him lotsa reasons for choosing...conservative, a woman (and that isn’t sexist!), younger than him (like who isn’t!) and smart!

I hope not too.

The sad thing is that I can see him doing this.

How about Bobby Jindal?

I have stuff in the back of my freezer that's older than Bobby Jindal.

Carl Rove is predicting that Romney will be picked.

Lieberman might NOT be the worst pick.

I heard his buddy, John Kerry, is also on McCain’s short list.

Could be satire.
Maybe McCain will pick Bill Ayers or his wife Bernadine Dohrn.
After all, he wouldn’t want to just concede the terrorist vote to Obama.

Lieberman would help pull votes from the Democrat side, and folks, if you put your ideology aside for just a moment - that’s what’s going to decide the winner of this election.

McCain’s choice of VP need to be pragmatic, not dogmatic.
