By Ron Beasley I am talking about the Republican Party but I'm not talking about Joe The Plumber or even Joe Lieberman. No I'm talking about Senator Joe McCarthy. I have studied both the modern Republican Party and the Joe...

HARTFORD - US Senator Joe Lieberman made a wary return to his home state last week, his first since winning a reprieve from Senate Democrats and President-elect Barack Obama for the central role he played in John McCain's campaign.

When Democrats gathered last week to decide the fate of Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.), a pair of senators-elect, Tom Udall of New Mexico and Jeff Merkley of Oregon, stepped up to offer symbolically important speeches. Lieberman's support of Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) for the presidency was well known, punctuated by his nationally televised speech at the Republican National Convention in...

HARTFORD, Conn. -- Connecticut Sen. Joe Lieberman took another step toward mending his relationship with Democrats, saying that Barack Obama's actions since winning the presidency have been "just about perfect." "Everything that President-elect Obama has done since election night has...

BuzzFlash has a weekly feature, GOP Hypocrite of the Week, and this week's winner is that sanctimonious sad sack, Joe Lieberman. Now, Lieberman may win the prize as the ugliest human in the world, but that doesn't stop him from competing for other awards. I'm certain he wins the Traitor of the Year Award for his recent election antics. And now he lands yet another honor that he justly...

LIEBERMAN IN CONTEXT.... We talked yesterday about new reports on Joe Lieberman's financial support for Republican congressional candidates before Election Day, on top of his work on behalf of John McCain and Sarah Palin. I argued that if Senate Democrats...

LBJ once said he rather have his enemies inside his tent pissing out than outside his tent pissing in. I think that may have been Obama's reason for allowing Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-CT) to keep his committee chairs and to continue to caucus with the Democrats. Lieberman was forgiven for supporting his friend Sen. John McCain for President. [...]

The more you know about Joe Lieberman, the more undesirable he becomes. When Al Gore selected him for his VP, I thought he made a good choice. Now, I question Gore's judgement. Shortly after Bush was appointed to the presidency in 2000, Lieberman was sucking up to him. Now, he's sucking up to Obama after trashing him throughout the campaign. This article from the Washington Post reveals...

By Paul Kane WashPost Here's a story of the Thanksgiving spirit, forgiving and forgetting senatorial style. When Democrats gathered last week to decide the fate of Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.), a pair of senators-elect, Tom Udall of New Mexico and Jeff Merkley of Oregon, stepped up to offer symbolically important speeches. Having ridden the wave of support for President-elect Barack Obama, Udall...

Here it is, the day we (and Joe Lieberman) have all been waiting for: The Georgia Senate runoff between Democrat Jim Martin and Saxby Chambliss, one of most odious Republicans to walk the earth. In case you need reminding, Chambliss is the prince of a fellow who beat war hero Max Cleland (you know, the guy who left three limbs in Vietnam) by calling him soft on terror and morphing his face with...

With Saxby Chambliss winning in Georgia, Democrats will not have a filibuster-proof senate. No surprises there. I never thought that idea had much merit anyway, as there are enough right wing Democrats to kill and progressive measure that comes afoot. Think … Joe Lieberman. I doubt they’d be able to muster sixty votes on anything. [...]

As expected, Georgia voters have sent the loathsome Saxby Chambliss back to the Senate . This means that the Democrats will not get to a 60-seat majority, no matter what happens in Minnesota. So can we please turn this dark cloud into a silver lining and kick Joe Lieberman out of the caucus now?

After all that's gone on this week, I thought my life couldn't get any more unbelievable. But it looks like it might. We fought to get Obama elected and we won by a landslide. We've got a mandate. And what has our mandate earned us? A cabinet that gets Joe Lieberman's seal of approval. Yuck. Well now it gets worse. There's been quite a bit of speculation over the new Ag Secretary and we've learned...

One of the first things Barack Obama did after winning the election two weeks ago was put an old-school political brawler in charge of his White House. Next, he saved Joe Lieberman . Then, he met with John McCain, and asked Hillary Clinton to run his State Department. For good measure, he's also apparently weighing whether to keep George W. Bush's Defense secretary, Robert Gates, on at the...
