Lieberman on Today Show: "I'm Less Likely to Appoint Gore to a Position in My Administration!"

The Today Show

[BibChr]

Lieberman's statement is true on a couple of levels, when you think about it.

...which is unusual, for him, since he sold the last shattered remnants of his soul.

I am dying to hear what Zell Miller has to say about this low class move.

[azhenfud]

"....someone who's against everything that Al Gore and Bill Clinton stood for: middle class tax cuts, strong foreign policy, values."

That's it, Joe. Al is trying his best to disassociate himself with those Clinton VALUES.

Super LOL!

Lieberman pointedly mentioned that he spoke with Bill Clinton last night. He said that all his conversations with the ex-Pres. are private, but went out of his way to mention that they've known each for 33 years, that they had a good laugh, perhaps talked about the vicissitudes of campaigns, etc.

Another Dwarf biting the poisoned apple.

I was struck by that too. The ultimate oxymoron: Clinton values.

[governsleastgovernsbest]

Interesting point - Zell should have a good zinger to offer!

[governsleastgovernsbest]

Who will be the next Dem contender to drop out of the race?

Well, since no one else is jumping in, let me see if I can prime the pump. I predict Kerry will be the next to drop out, perhaps even before the NH primary. Doing so at that point would permit him to avoid humiliation in his backyard state.

I think pretty soon it will dawn on Kerry, and that his friends and advisors will tell him, that he has no chance, and that he has already sacrificed much of his dignity. Time to end the bleeding.

What you didn't see in the Green room after the interview.

[truthandlife]

Gore is trying to get behind a winning horse. He is also looking for payback. Gore wanted very badly to run 2004 but the Democrat (Hillary & Bill show) establishment would not support him $$$.

This is payback. It is the Democrat establishment vs. Howard Dean. Gore is bitter and he is doing the opposite of what the Democrat machine would want him to do.

It will be interesting when the Clintons will put the pressure on Dean. It will probably be after the nomination and will pull the rug ($$$) out from Dean.

[azhenfud]

I couldn't believe Joe attributed any positive values to Clinton. When I heard that remark, I told my wife "values" and "Clinton" don't belong intertwined favorably within the same sentence. She laughed about it too.

[1Old Pro]

The most telling moment of the interview came when Katie said: "some have called Dean too liberal. Does the endorsement by Gore, who is more centrist, help establish Dean in the mainstream?"

algor a centrist? He's moved so far left he's more liberal than the peacenicks.

[governsleastgovernsbest]

LOL - you have to figure that was Joe's reaction when he got the news.

[governsleastgovernsbest]

Gore is trying to get behind a winning horse.

And you know what you get if you get behind a horse!

[governsleastgovernsbest]

Exactly, and Russert called Katie on that, pointing out Gore's leftward drift and his affiliation with the hard-left Moveon.org.

[Howlin]

He pointed out that Gore had endorsed the first Gulf War

Oh, please. He did NOT support the war. What HE supported was face time for himself! Alan Simpson said that right up to the very last minute, Gore managed to produce a bidding war between the Dems and the GOP for FACE TIME on TV for his speech; the ONLY reason he supported that war was because the Republicans gave him the 8 P.M. EST time slot during the debate.

He is, was, and always will be a political WHORE.

[lonestar]

All smoke and mirrors.

Always has been.

[budwiesest]

I couldn't believe Joe attributed any positive values to Clinton.

I was waiting for the bolt of lightning to strike at that moment.

[azhenfud]

Yeah, I could almost see Ol Joe's political ship sinking with that remark. The response to Al Gore's having a position on his admin staff was appropriately answered by, "I'm less likely..."

[sport]

I am praying and hoping that he has no administration.
