Joe Lieberman on CNN's Late Edition at 12 PM ET today (Sunday)

[IndianaGreen]

This is the Wolf Blitzer interview show. Get your carving knives out!

[IndianaGreen]

1. 5 minutes to go before Holy Joe

I can't hardly wait for him to speak of our noble crusade in Iraq, and the wonderful virtues of PATRIOT 2.

Maybe Lieberman will drop out?

[IndianaGreen]

2. Oh Gawd, Wolfie calls Lieberman a "front runner"

Wolfie also has Tom Ridge as his first guest, followed by DLC Chair Evan Bayh to discuss WMD. Lieberman is on the last segment to discuss the campaign. Wolfie called Lieberman a "front runner" to the nomination.

[joeybee12]

3. Three Republicans on One Show?

That's not balanced!

[drdigi420]

4. my sentiments exactly n/t

[IndianaGreen]

5. Bayh is on now with Trent Lott

I don't know which of them I dislike the most...

[IndianaGreen]

6. Teaser by Wolfie: Lieberman will say why Dean is not qualified for Prez

That's the teaser that Wolfie gave as he broke for commercials.

He is having Joe Wilson on WMD next.

Lieberman follows Wilson.

[Mari333]

7. UGH I just get so angry when that lying DLC moron is on

I cant bear to watch it..Its like watching a bad porn film, with LiEberman making large sucking sounds.

[Khephra]

8. We "know" Saddam was supporting terrorists

Funny, I don't remember that ever being proved, Joe.

[Pepperbelly]

9. as a moderate Democrat, Joey makes me sick ...

He sucks up to Bonehead like he enjoys it.

F*cking punk.

Joey doesn't mind having our soldiers killed to justify HIS stance. Fuck him.

[Cush]

10. ugh

Joe: Saddam wanted to dominate the Arab world.

Wolf: But there are a lot bad guys with horrible records

Joe: Each one is different......this wasn't a pre-emptive war

Joe: Yeah, he did exaggerate, but it doesn't matter the world, America is now a safer place

[IndianaGreen]

11. Lieberman on Iraq

On Iraq: "War was not a mistake... War was necessary... Saddam was brutal dictator... Saddam wanted to dominate the Arab world... I never viewed this (Iraq) as preemptive war, but as the end of the first Gulf war... America is safer..."

[mandyky]

12. Sore Loserman

Just war my rearend!

[newyorican]

13. Lieberman is driving stakes into his own candidacy

And he is as exciting as watching grass grow. :boring:

[UTUSN]

14. Somebody, Somebody Responsible - Who Could It Be

Wolf skating to pin him down----------who, who, Condi, TENET, who-Joe???? Say it, say it, Joe----come on, you can do it. (NOT.)

[grasswire]

15. trashing dean

big time...saying he is anti-war in order to win

[grasswire]

16. yikes!!!

Dean is "a ticket to nowhere"

[Khephra]

18. And Joe is ready to do battle against Dean

He flat out agreed that Dean was weak on Defense.

I'm quivering in my boots.

[IndianaGreen]

20. Holy Joe: Dean is "tax and spend" Democrat

What a puke!

[mandyky]

29. Maybe Dean should run an ad in CT

Loserman needs to be shown the door (see LaTaz' exit sign in CDC pics thread) !!

[IndianaGreen]

30. Hey Kef, I just had 4 Blackhawks buzz my house in formation

They were flying real low, and loud enough to vibrate the glass on the window and be heard above the air conditioner.

Is this related to the Brickyard, or is there something going on????

[Khephra]

31. No idea

Probably the race. There are a lot of people here for that this weekend.

I live underground, so I didn't hear them.

[IndianaGreen]

32. If they don't fly over the track, then

they are prepositioning an emergency response team in case of a terrorist attack.

[IndianaGreen]

17. Lieberman: Dean is not the leader we need

"Dean will take the Democratic Party into the wilderness for a long time."

[Mari333]

19. LIEberman is a PLANT

Everytime that GOP lite whore opens his yap I swear hes NOTHING more then a PLANT for the GOP

F*ck Him and we all know his head is right up Bush's ass.

Put DEAN on against him....Dean would eat him alive.

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

[newyorican]

21. Joe just gave the GOP *the* anti-Dean talking points

Watch for it.

"Dean is weak on defense."

"Dean raises taxes on the middle-class."

"Dean is a ticket to nowhere."

This coming from someone with the personality of a log.

[Redleg]

22. I heard it all. What a bunch of crap.

Lieberman is a real stool.

[seventhson]

24. He said BATTLE FOR THE HEART AND SOUL OF THE DEM PARTY

He got that part right. And he will lose.

Interesting that Wolf asked about Gore and Leibermann hedged as if he knew something.

Lieberman dissed Gore big time after the last election and I doubt the gracious Gore, who would not forget but would be polite, is telling joe sh*t about his intentions.

Joe acted like he knows but his silence and lack of certainty says VOLUMES. He HAS NO IDEA, but thinks it is a real possibility!!!

I think Gore is back in!!!! YIPPPEEEE!!!!!

It will be announced shortly after Labor Day -- mid-late September!!!

[IndianaGreen]

25. Holy Joe did hesitate on the Gore question

particularly on the part about him standing aside for Gore, if Gore were to jump back into the fray.

I thought that Lieberman's complimentary words about Gore and his family sounded phony.

[Khephra]

26. You hit on what I think is up

I don't think Joe and Gore are that close at all. He was playing like he's talking to Gore all the time, when I bet they hardly, if ever, speak. He wanted to appear to be more "in" than he is.

So, he hedged his bet just in case Gore does enter, because Joe really has no clue as to what Gore is up to these days.

[kentuck]

27. Dean should make statement that he agrees with Lieberman on one issue

It IS about the "heart and soul" of the Democratic Party. That is why we cannot gamble any further with Joe Lieberman Democrats in leadership positions.

[Julien Sorel]

28. Better to hear it now than against a Republican.

Let's see how Dean responds. On the one hand, this is Lieberman trying to establish himself as the alternative to Dean, so Dean can help marginalize Lieberman by blowing this off. On the other hand, Dean would get hit with this stuff ceaselessly during the actual election, so he might as well start dealing with it now. As his campaign gathers steam, he's going to be attacked more and more. That Lieberman chose him to attack tells you who the real front runner is.

[IndianaGreen]

23. Lieberman left the set leaving a trail behind like the slug he is

Lieberman is our Jabba the Hutt
