"I'm still a potential vote" for President Bush's nominee for United Nations ambassador, Lieberman, D-Conn., said Wednesday.
That's in sharp contrast to Dodd, D-Conn., a senior Senate Foreign Relations Committee member who has sharply questioned the United Nations ambassador during hearings and urged the panel to investigate the choice further.
Lieberman, though, was unsure about Bolton.
The two have spoken recently and Lieberman, who has generally supported the White House's policies against terrorists, found "he's going to the U.N. not to destroy it, but to reform it."
On the other hand, the senator said, "I'm troubled by what seems to be a repeated record of difficulty by people working with him and for him."

Lieberman said he wants to study the situation further. "I have not reached any conclusions," he said.

Un-frikkin-believable. This guy has no shame.

1. I don't trust Democrats who trust Bush. n/t

n/t

[truebrit71]

37. Me either. Especially this particular prick...

Lieberman makes me want to puke.... :grr:

[PretzelWarrior]

2. nothing new. only thing left is some raving speech by him at GOP function

but I don't believe he has a setting for "raving".

[barb162]

3. well

I can't believe I voted for him in 2000 with Gore. I think Lieberman should just switch parties and make it official

[dad]

50. Gore picking Lieberman was the reason I voted for Nader

No way i would support that piece of shit with my vote, even as VP

[wryter2000]

4. He's disgusting

He needs to go. Does he run in 2006?

[saskatoon]

19. Leibermann

This character plays both sides of the fence. I totally despise him. What's that saying "with friends like this who needs an enemy" And that oily unctious voice, what a despicable creature.

21. If you hate LIE-berman...

Here is a group for you to join.

29. Thanks!

:yourock:

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

51. Hmmm...

[jpgray]

5. The United Nations must be honored when their resolutions are "defied"

In all other cases they must be pissed on, especially if Israel is perpetrating said defiance, or if they otherwise stand in the way of an invasive and illegal foreign policy. Get it?

[Pepperbelly]

6. What will Feingold do?

He tends to vote for Bush nominees. I know what he says about it but at the same time, has anyone heard on this fuckstick what his intentions might be?

[Mass]

10. Vote against Bolton

According to Biden, all Democrats in the Foreign Relations Committee would vote against Bolton going out of committee. The only question was about a few Republicans.

[Pepperbelly]

15. that's a relief. nt

[liam_laddie]

7. F**k little Joe

Unless he's tryin' to squeeze out some defense contracts for
Sikorsky or... some Abramoff-style scam for the Native American casinos in CT Maybe's he'll pull the old double-cross, get * to commit to something, and sandbag * Is Joe that crafty? Any CT
opinions? In retrospect, glad he's wasn't veep, though I wish Gore hadn't been outmanuvered by Baker, Bolton and Scalia.
Even with Joe, the world would've been an incomparably better
place. ---(sigh)---

[Canuckistanian]

8. Of course he will

Did anyone ever think differently? If it's a *ush administration obsession, Lieberman will vote for it.

[w4rma]

9. Good! This will make it easier to oust LIEberman in his 2006 primary. (nt)

[Wizard777]

11. Squeek Squeek

Okay, what kind of grease does he need?

[chelsea0011]

12. This guy is going to be clobbered in the next election

and it might be another Dem who goes after his seat.

[GetTheRightVote]

13. I called him to ask him not to vote for this man, please call as well

:kick:

[smoogatz]

14. Hey, Rethuglicans--

Trade you Lieberman straight up for Olympia Snowe.

[saracat]

16. Okay, lets see the Joe defenders defend this! I have never liked Joe.

His votes aside, the very first time I met him ( before the primary, at an event for him)I tried to be cordial and told him that I had been a long time Conn. resident and had gone to school in Conn. Now, I had just been formally introduced to the man as a party official, and he sneered and said ,
dismissively, "Oh! everyond claims that". I was stunned! I replied that Conn, was a lovely state , but I had never known anyone to lie about living there! Anyway shortly thereafter he was confronted about the Patriot Bill and he said he hadn't read it. It was "too long" and surely no one could expect Senators to read such bills. He assurred us it was NEVER done. I told him that yes, I did expect him to read the bills, particularly such an important one. I said I though it was his job. He said an aid gave him a summary and he didn't really know all the details. I was horrified.To think he was almost VP!

[kentuck]

17. If I lived in CT, I would find someone to run against that traitor ...

His whole world is "bi-partisan"... in a very illusory manner:)

[AntiCoup2K4]

32. Joe is very bi-partisan

problem is the two parties are Republican and Likud.

[Popeye1947]

18. Well there's a shocker!

[Pepperbelly]

20. at least he's aboard for the filibuster ...

Thank God for small miracles.

[Jacobin]

22. Of course he will.

He doesn't want the U.N. to piss on Israel's expansionist agenda, and so would be happy to see it destroyed.

[smokeyjoe]

23. Another Zell?

He's way too chummy with those right-wing radicals for my taste. I say it's time for him to move over to where he belongs.

[Malva Zebrina]

24. Somebody has something on Lieberman

and he is running scared, imo.

[AG78]

33. Committee on the Present Danger

[OzarkDem]

25. When is he up for re-election?

Is there anyone (Dem) in CT who is ready to run against him?

[trof]

26. "I'm still a potential vote"??? How Liebermanesque.

He's also a potential jerk.
joementum
pah

[kentuck]

27. ..and encourages any Repub that may be thinking of voting against..

Leave it to Joementum... how can people continue to support this guy??

[zulchzulu]

28. After all, Loserman is a closet Repug with no balls

It's utterly predictable though.

[SlimJimmy]

35. That was a good one

The more i read about LIE berman the more i agree. No balls.

[ChiciB1]

30. WHAT??? Even Bill Nelson Is A "No" Vote And

I have regularly disparaged him here at DU! When he was with Gore he never seemed so milk toast. Or am I missing something???

Only after I saw him while running for President did get turned off by him. What is going on with this guy?? Yeah, ANOTHER Zell!

[Blue Belle]

31. Go ahead Lieberman... vote for Bolton.

Then watch as your career spins down the toilet drain. A "yes" vote for Bolton will solidify your reputation as a DINO.

Have they found a candidate to replace him as the Democratic Senatorial nominee for '06 yet??

[SlimJimmy]

34. That is so wrong

This guy Bolton yells at people and stuff. why would we want him to be in the UN? Thats a place where ppl try to get along.

[Zhade]

36. Motherfucker.

NT!

[LittleClarkie]

38. I guess I'm reading this in reverse

I see someone who normally supports Bush's foreign policies doing a waver dance. That would seem to be a step in the right direction to me. He might NOT support Bolton, when normally he would support whoever Bush puts up. Know what I mean?

[Generator]

39. Quell surprise!

With Zell in ill health, luckily the Republicans will have a Dem for their next convention speech.

Walk the talk ya know.

[enough already]

40. Why is anyone surprised?

More DLC bullshit

[LittleClarkie]

41. How could anyone think Kerry is DLC with the way he hates Bolton

Hoo boy, does he dislike that man.

[Renew Deal]

42. Well, I guess I'll be spending part of next summer in CT.

Working for his opponent.

[Mondon]

43. Traitor. EOM

[hatrack]

44. Well that fucking figures

:puke:

[Arugula Latte]

45. Have I mentioned

how much I fucking HATE Joe Lieberman? :grr:

[returnable]

46. Looks like Bolton has some Joementum!

:hi:

48. Lieberman is a Neocon

He wholeheartedly supports Bush's Mideast policy. He has appeared with Wolfowitz at a rally for Benjamin Netanyahu. He responsible for derailing a bill in the Senate that would have tied Bush's hands prior to the Iraq invasion.

Lieberman is a Neocon. End of story.

[Avalux]

49. I DONT CARE IF HE'S SOCIALLY LIBERAL

Lieberman is a hawk; a neocon and his allegiance is with Israel.

[autorank]

52. Lieberman's a closet DRAMA QUEEN!

I hate people like that. They're contrarian just to get attention. I hope he's heavily contested in the primary. It's time that Lieberman and Nelson get a reminder as to which party they joined. I would love to see Paul Newman run against him.

[SoCalDem]

53. Surprised?? Nope !

:(

[manly]

54. Lie-berman

I tried to e-mail Lie-berman about his possibly voting in favor of that idiot, Bolton. His site only accepts e-mails from Connecticut residents. I live in NJ. So how about some CT residents bombarding this hypocrite with anti-Bolton e-mails.

[bearfan454]

55. Holy Joe is a fucking DINO

He votes repuke all the time.

[Roland99]

56. Bolton is a key PNACer...of course LIEberman will vote for him.

[NVMojo]

57. Isn't Lieberman the one whose wife got the high paying pharmaecuetical

job??? Yeah, I trust his fake liberal ass ....
