27. And who could forget this? "Hillary Clinton Joins Joe Lieberman To Resurrect the Culture Wars"
Edited on Sat Dec-29-07 09:10 AM by ClarkUSA
I guess this must be one for those of us who spent the 90s wanting to throw large objects through the television set as we watched that sanctimonious,
finger wagging, judgmental scold Joe Lieberman on the floor of the Senate joining with the Republicans to derail the constitution over Bill Clinton's zipper:

Senators Joe Lieberman (ID-CT), Sam Brownback (R-KS), Evan Bayh (D-IN), and Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-NY) called for a thorough review
of the video game ratings process in the wake of "Manhunt 2" receiving a "Mature" rating. In a letter to the Entertainment Software Ratings Board
(ESRB), the Senators detailed how the change in rating opened the door to widespread release of the game, which depicts acts of horrific violence.


Well that is just peachy. Do we suppose Hillary sat down and actually played Manhunt 2 on the campaign trail in order to arrive at this conclusion, or
did she just take Joe's word for it, much like she did when she voted for the Kyl-Lieberman amendment that others have quite rightly pilloried her
for? Because Joe, you'll recall, was a useful idiot for the Bushies when they discovered Iran had no nuclear weapons program and they had to find
another reason to bomb them into the stone age -- something they neglected to tell the public about. And despite the fact that Clinton's excuse
for voting for the AUMF was that she had "bad information" from the Bush Administration on the Iraq weapons program, she decided to trust
them -- and Lieberman -- and amp up the Iran war rhetoric.

One wonders at what point she will stop following Lieberman over the cliff.
