Lieberman to give weekly Democratic radio speech

[Doondoo]

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) -- Sen. Joe Lieberman, who won a fourth term last year as an independent after losing the Democratic nomination to an anti-war candidate, is scheduled to deliver the Democrats' weekend radio speech on Saturday.

In his prepared text released Friday, Lieberman, I-Conn., calls for improving care for wounded U.S. troops who have served in Afghanistan and Iraq.

"For instance, soldiers with brain injuries have gone weeks without being able to get doctors appointments," he said. "There is not enough staff with the right skills to treat and care for the severely injured troops. And rooms where some soldiers lived were found to be moldy and infested with rodents."

1. I'm so fucking sick of Harry Reid and his spineless leadership...

[Monkeyman]

2. Yep

[AndyTiedye]

12. Reid Is Just Trying to Hold the Senate for the Dems as Long as We Can

Lieberman will flip the very first time he does not get his way.
You know that, I know that, and Harry Reid knows that.
Lieberman can demand anything he wants, and he wanted this week's Dem address.

He will probably flip some time this month or next, since the Repigs need the Senate
back in their hands for the upcoming Iran war and likely Supreme Court nominations.

15. This is excessive

Yeah give him the damn chairmanship where he won't investigate Katrina. Look the other way when he shits all over us.

But to have him speak for Democrats is absolutely fucking sick and is insulting.

Fuck LIEberMe and the enablers.

[Beelzebud]

18. Hold it for what exactly? If he capitulates to Lieberman at every turn, who gives a shit?

Why even bother having the majority if you hand it all to some fucking jackass?

[AndyTiedye]

19. We Do. This Sucks, But A Repiglican Senate Sucks Worse

3. You-have-got-to-be-kidding-me! He shouldn't be allowed to speak for our party!

He's a FUCKING INDEPENDENT/REPUKE! Geezus! Does Harry Reid have a brain?

[AzDar]

4. He isn't even a DEMOCRAT. Jeebus!

:eyes:

[Nutmegger]

5. This is insulting

Yeah I know we need LIEberMe blah blah blah but there's a line in the sand.

I'm so tired of the spinlessness. Makes me think the leadership won't dump him if we get gains in the Senate in 2008.

6. Maybe Joe could donate some of the Doggie Treats Shrub gave him.

[bahrbearian]

7. Shouldn't Joe be talking about Katrina? This is bait and switch.

[BlueManDude]

8. are they still gonna kiss his ass after he endorses McCain or Rudy?

[SammyWinstonJack]

9. He isn't a Democrat! WTF?

:wtf: And he threatens to switch to the repugs when he doesn't get his way! :wtf:

[Vidar]

10. Harry Reid is almost as much of an ass as Lieberman.

[nosmokes]

11. WTF d'ya expect? this is your NON- BINDING DEMOCRATIC PARTY

where liberals get trounced and beaten up as unelectable so kick 'em to the curb, but a corporate schill that wants to puta little swagger into the walk and can raise millions and gets the DLC kiss of approval is glorified like the second coming.

[Mr. Ected]

13. Next Week's Guest: Zell Miller

There's nothing more frustrating than a Democratic Congress, seated for 2 months, already alienating its base.

[RiverStone]

14. WTF! Joe bails from the DEMS to run against a DEM...

And he is invited to speak for the DEMS? Not to mention his adoration for Shrub and the escalation!

Damn, its the 3rd. Did it happen?

Who was responsible for suggesting this prick speak for our party in ANY way?

[TSIAS]

16. Lieberman is officially becoming my least favorite Senator

I hate him even more than Jim Inhofe and Trent Lott.

[MilesColtrane]

17. Just call it the weekly liarside chat. n/t
