Lieberman Hardball transcript from Wed Night (Dean/Kerry Attack)

[Khephra]

snip...........


MATTHEWS: Well, let’s talk about your HARDBALL campaign to become the Democratic candidate next summer in Boston. After last night’s debate, you made an interesting point. You talked about - you said it’s not the best time - “It’s not the best time to put a rookie in charge of our country’s future. It hasn’t been a good time to have a cowboy in charge of our future, but we also don’t need a waffler in charge of our future.”

I’m trying to connect the dots here. This is like a matching test for me. Let’s see. Who would be the rookie, Senator?

LIEBERMAN: Well, I was picking up on something John Kerry said about Howard Dean, and he’s right.

(CROSSTALK)

MATTHEWS: OK. Howard Dean is the rookie? Who’s the loyal American, as patriotic as they come, who’s the cowboy?

LIEBERMAN: Well, I think there’s only one person that fits that description, Chris.

MATTHEWS: The guy with the boots.

LIEBERMAN: He’s from Texas.

MATTHEWS: OK. How about the waffler?

LIEBERMAN: Well, it may fit many people but in that case I was speaking about John Kerry and specifically the various descriptions he has given, the vote he cast to authorize war against Saddam Hussein. I couldn’t believe it, in his announcement a week or so ago when he said he thought he was just threatening Saddam. I mean, It’s pretty clear what we were saying.

4. "Leiberman Endorses Bush"

breaking news from Progressive1!

:wtf: was Holy Joe talking about damn it??????

are these two bafoons saying that Bush is a good leader???

Joe Looserman is not going to be the president of the U.S!!!

[hedda_foil]

5. Well, Joe doesn't say that HE's the loyal, patriotic American

That's what I'd expect him to say if he was talking about himself and * separately. So there's no other interpretation than that he's taling about *.

What a fucking puke this sonofabitch is! And I'd like to remind everyone that I'm Jewish and strongly support Dean's statement.

In fact, Lieberman is getting very little support from American Jews who were even more against this phony war than the majority of Dems -- who were overwhelmingly against for a long, long time. I hope everyone here remembers that when 40% of the public was against this war, around 70% of Dems opposed it.
