Who’s your favorite sitting Senator? Mine is Joe Lieberman, the most powerful Senator there is.
For all the Kos Kids screaming and biting each other and shaking their monkey cages, their greatest accomplishment so far was pushing Lieberman out of the Democratic Party and making him more powerful than ever before. Also, they changed his politics from “pro-war, but otherwise solid Democrat” to “I’ll pick whatever position makes those weird, bug-eyed Kos Kids screech the loudest”. Thus he’s the one holding up Obamacare, demanding no public option and no Medicare expansion and getting it. If he wanted a provision in the health care bill saying, “Joe Lieberman is King Awesome, and Harry Reid has a small penis,” it would go in there and be underlined. Even the White House has told Reid, “Give Lieberman all he asks for so that he might not turn against us with his terrible anger!”
If only people had listened to Karl Rove, who a couple years ago read from the ancient Book of Punditry:
“When the poo eaters try to strike down the one with the countenance of Droopy Dog, he shall grow in such power as to be able to stop the plans of the Large-Eared One.”
Rove then went on about prophecies about the “Huntress from the North”, though I still don’t know what those mean.
Anyway, all the Kos Kids can do now is stand on the sidelines, shake their tiny fists, and shout, “Jooooooo!”… until Lieberman looks their way. Then they scream and run away, burrowing into their dung hills for safety.
So, overall, I’d give the Kos Kids’ efforts to destroy Joe Lieberman a good, solid B+.
