Griper Blade: Joe Lieberman and the Office of George W. Bush's Trousers

I'm just so damned sick of Sen. Joe Lieberman. Since being reincarnated as the sole member of the 'Connecticut for Lieberman' party, he's been nothing but a lying sack. Of course, I'm being charitable. There's always the possibility that he's just insane. Either way, I've got two messages for the voters of Connecticut -- 'We told you so' and 'Thanks for nothing.'

Joe's latest line of BS came on an appearance on ABC's This Week where he called for more domestic wiretapping in the US.

Think Progress:

...Lieberman said, "I hope these terrorist attacks in London wake us up here in America to stop the petty partisan fighting going on about...electronic surveillance," in apparent reference to the Senate Judiciary Committee's subpoenas for documents related to Bush's NSA warrantless wiretapping program.

Lieberman claimed, "We're at a partisan gridlock over the question of whether the American government can listen into conversations or follow email trails of non-American citizens."... Liebermen went further in his calls for greater domestic spying. "The Brits have got something smart going. ... They have have cameras all over London. ... I think it's just common sense to do that here much more widely."

Of course, there's just so much wrong with what Lieberman's selling here and he knows it. But Joe's got himself firmly embedded in George W. Bush's pants and everything looks different from that perspective...
