No Mentum: Joe's Two Faced Two Step

Thu Aug 24, 2006 at 07:10:13 AM PDT

The two faced Joe Lieberman can't make up his mind now - to be a proud Republican or to pretend not to be a Republican. Today it seems Joe is for staying the course, in the ditch, in Iraq:

Mr. Lieberman is speaking more forcefully and in starker detail about why he believes the United States must remain militarily engaged in Iraq.

And he is painting a dire picture of what will happen if American forces are withdrawn too quickly: civil war in Iraq, skyrocketing oil prices, an emboldened Iran and expanding Islamic terrorism.

God forbid any of that happen. Sheesh. That's the amazing thing, Lieberman is really a dumbass. A craven two faced dumbass, but a dumbass. More.

Joe's zig:

The statements echoed those Mr. Lieberman made a day earlier, in an interview with a conservative radio talk show host, Glenn Beck, who repeatedly called Mr. Lieberman a friend and vowed to support him.

Mr. Lieberman's stronger comments about Iraq and the Middle East seem a reflection of his desire to win over independents and Republicans who are considered more likely to support Mr. Bush and the war than Democratic primary voters.

Yes, the Bush candidate. Like we said.

Joe's zag:

The senator's aides, who did not alert reporters to his appearance on Mr. Beck's program, say his recent remarks simply expressed long-held positions. They also noted that Mr. Lieberman has criticized the Bush administration for its handling of the war and said on Sunday that Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld should resign.

The stealth Republican? Bwahahahaha.

Ned is on Joe's bs:  

Mr. Lamont has been quick to pounce on Mr. Lieberman's strong comments about Iraq, saying that the incumbent continues to advocate a "stay the course" position on the war and is "out of step with Connecticut voters."

The Bush Candidate. That's the way Ned. Oh by the way, Ned is hitting Joe's two faced ways as well:

Mr. Lamont also criticized Mr. Lieberman for his explanation of why the United States initially invaded Iraq, saying that he was muddying the waters.

"Given his recent comments, it's becoming less and less clear what Joe really believes our mission is in Iraq, why he supported the war, and more and more clear that he has no plan to get us out," Mr. Lamont's statement said.

Two faced, two steppin, craven - Joe is the perfect Bush candidate - a stupid unprincipled liar.

Lieberman and Bush. What a team. Take it to him Ned.
