SORE LOSERMAN --- THE SHADOW V.P .....

[Mr. Mojo]

He apologized saying, 'If he took the question personally, I regret it,' " she said.

That is not an apology.

bttt

[demkicker]

So LIEberman was offended to be called Jewish? What else is new with this wishy-washy-all-over-the-place-demwit?

It's down right pathetic that this loserman makes the most sense and is the sanest of the bunch! Lord, please help us.

[risk]

He's right about the fence, too.

[PGalt]

When a moron like Al Gore has no more use for you and endorses a fruitcake like Howard Dean, it's time to play victim card, Loserman. Your 15 minutes of fame are over.

[Pharmboy]

I dunno...seems like a reasonable question. This is a guy who has always kept his Jewishness close to the surface, and Israel is the Jewish State.

At any rate, he should have handled the situation a bit better.

[KQQL]

I never said he didn't

LIEBERMAN Is out of touch with his own party..

Pork chops at half-price?

[cake_crumb]

Lieberman's offended for being asked his opinion "as a Jew"? How many of those Lieberman campaign yarmulkas did Joe sell?

[Husker24]

Gasp!.....the dems will probably throw him out of the party for that one.

LOSERMAN THE RAT SHADOW V.P

[Tall_Texan]

I don't think the question was out of line but since I don't watch the Clinton News Network, I don't know with what inflection the question was posed.

The question seems to be posed to other minorities in the same manner all the time:

"As a black man, do you..."
"How does it make you feel as a Native American..."

And they throw the line right back:
"Speaking as an African-American..."
"As someone who grew up in the barrios..."

I have a feeling Lieberman needed an opportunity to put some life into his campaign and chose to play his version of the Race Card.

[Arpege92]

Lieberman needs to lighten up.

He wasn't offended to be called Jewish, he was offended that the question implied that his being a Jew had some significant bearing on his answer. And he's correct, it was an inappropriate way to pose the question. There's no need to label everybody that way.

Seemed like a reasonable question to me, too!

How come it was OK to make sure we all knew he was Jewish when he was chosen to run as Gore's VP?
