Tried over and over again to blame video games for all the violence in the country. Good bye jerk.
Probably the last moderate and rational voice of the Democrat party is now gone.
He seemed like a decent guy. God rest his soul.
On March 17th, Lieberman slammed Schumer’s speech saying Israel needed a new leader: “’For a U.S. Senator, let alone a majority leader, let alone the highest-ranking Jewish elected official in Washington, to tell Israelis that it’s time to get rid of [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu], that’s outrageous,’ Lieberman said in a Sunday interview with radio host John Catsimatidis on The Cats Roundtable on WABC 770 AM.”
Good man. He was an old fashioned liberal who loved his country.
I hope his family isn’t planning on inviting Biden, and especially not to get up and speak. He’ll go off script, and make it all about himself...how he lost Beau fighting in Israel, or Beau fell to his death from the Francis Scott Key Bridge. Or he’ll keep looking at his watch, and go wandering aimlessly around.
Rest In Peace, Joseph Lieberman.
Joe was stuck in Connecticut...in the northeast we were all stuck at home (or at work) so I had time to put together this parody song:
Oh the healthcare reform is frightful
Status quo is so delightful
And since there’s no vote sans Joe
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!
The Dems don’t show signs of stopping
Our tax rates will soon be popping
Cancer screens will be cut real low
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!
If Joe finally leaves tonight
How he'll hate going out in the storm!
But if he would give up the fight
“’bama care” will bring no harm
The bill is slowly dying
Yet the left is still a-trying
But as long as there is no Joe
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!
Posted it as its own thread on here on that snowy Saturday night and by Sunday the views were in the quin-digits.
sometimes going along just to get along is just as bad as doing evil.
"A gentleman, through and through"
Rest in peace, Sir.
He lost his 2006 Senate primary when the turnout was only about 10%. Lieberman ran in the general election as an Independent candidate and won reelection to the Senate, and remained an independent ever since.
Lieberman decided to retire at the end of his term, and was succeeded by Chris Murphy (D), who is still in the Senate.
-PJ
Prayers to his family!! He was the last Connecticut Democrat that I voted for. Connecticut Democrats like Joe Lieberman, Ela Grasso (her husband was a principal at my school), Tom Shanahan (a state representative in my hometown), Thomas O’Neil (not Tip, a state representative who was a bar owner), were Conservatives. Now, Connecticut Dems are liberal!
Gone Lieberman 2000.
WHO PUSHED HIM?
The kind of Democrat my father voted for, along with people like Scoop Jackson. RIP for him, and for the non-Marxist party that died long ago.
RIP!
Died or killed? I noticed he spoke up in defense of Israel and against progressives and Biden recently. Now he’s dead. Coincidental?
I still have my “Gore Loserman” T shirt!
He’s got Joementum.
Lieberman grew up less than a half mile from me on the east side of Stamford, Ct. We went to the same high school, but I didn’t know him, as he was two years behind me. He was a good man, always looking for bipartisan solutions to problems.
