Connecticut colleagues ‘fed up’ with Joe Lieberman (Nutty DeLauro Wants Joe Out)

Liberal anger at Sen. Joe Lieberman spread across Capitol Hill on Tuesday, with a House Democrat from Connecticut calling for his recall and Lieberman himself acknowledging the angst he has caused.

“No individual should hold health care hostage, including Joe Lieberman, and I’ll say it flat out, I think he ought to be recalled,” Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-Conn.) told POLITICO.

Connecticut has no recall law for state officials, and the Constitution does not authorize states to recall members of Congress, since each house has the authority to police its own members.

DeLauro acknowledged that she didn’t know if it was possible to oust Lieberman from office. But her comments reflected the deep frustration many Democrats felt after Lieberman told Senate Majority Harry Reid that he’d join Republicans in filibustering the Senate health care reform bill if it included either a public insurance option or a provision allowing people ages 55 to 64 to buy into Medicare.

“There’s huge concern that borders on frustration,” Rep. John Larson (D-Conn.) said of Lieberman’s position.

“It goes beyond frustration in Connecticut in terms of the way people feel,” Larson said. “I have a great deal of respect [for] and I have long admired Joe Lieberman. This goes against the grain of most of what he’s fought for and stood for all of his life. It’s thoroughly frustrating and disappointing for so many of us.”

This woman is, IMO, insane. She's as close to an avowed Communist without actually declaring it as there is.

"I'll get you my pretty," she threatened the Senator. "You and your little dog"

The Hartford Courant staff responded with "oo-ee-oo."

Just give her the red shoes, Joe, and she'll forget about health care.

Well, I think DeLauro should be reclassified as nonhuman.

The antibabe herself.

Facial hate and facial hair. Read somewhere that her husband (yes, there is a husband) is an executive at Monsanto.

For you guys out there, imagine waking up to that every morning.

Typical liberal. Has no idea about any laws, but goes on talking like an "expert". LOL

Every time I’ve seen Rosa aka Mrs. Greenberg, she looks like she’s wear a rug, literally

I have spent the last at least 20 years voting for anyone but her, but she’s got the welfare mom’s on her side.

Folks, some of us in Connecticut apologize for Rosa, aka Mrs Greenberg, and we want the rest of the country to know that we’re trying
