My first admission is that I've never been to Connecticut. I don't even know much about it, except I think nutmeg is overrated. I also know they've got a pretty decent basketball team, but that's probably only because I live in Kentucky, where basketball is a religion.
One thing I don't like about Connecticut is the silent "C." I've always thought silent letters to be unnecessary. Frankly, I find them to be dum. The other thing I don't like from Connecticut is Joe Lieberman. It's not because he's not exciting, either. Nor is it because he looks like Teller of Penn and Teller fame. It's not his Droopy Dog appearance and it's not because bloggers tell me I shouldn't like him. It's not because he can't connect even though connect is the first seven letters in Connecticut. It's not even his stance on the war.
Nope, I don't like Joe Lieberman from Connecticut because, well, how should I put this...
I don't like Joe Lieberman because he is an asshole. There, I said it. Joe Lieberman is an asshole with a capital "A." Just look at the way he's run his campaign. Look at the way he whores around on Fox News. Look at the way he submissively takes a kiss from Bush. Look at the way he constantly gives Republicans the reach around while telling everybody he's reaching out (it all starts with a kiss).
Look at the company he keeps, people like Sean Hannity and Ann Coulter who both endorsed this walking sphincter. Keep in mind birds of a feather will end up spreading their own vile strain of bird flu to each other and to me, sometimes "holier than thou" Joe chirps in the neo-con language.
Before I go any further, yes! I know this is the 1,000,001st diary about Connecticut Joe and his band of merry neo-cons, but I believe everybody's been pussyfooting around the issue and not calling a spade a spade -- Joe Lieberman is an asshole. I reiterate that point, because I am not sure anybody has come out and actually proclaimed Joe to be an asshole yet. Have they? No matter. I suppose, if somebody has said that Joe is an asshole, it bears repeating. If not, then it needed to be said. Joe Lieberman is an asshole.
I'm sure some people might wonder, "So what if he's an asshole? The whole country is run by assholes." I may tend to agree with the above statement to some extent. After all, it does take a certain degree of assholiness to be a politician and Joe Lieberman is the assholiest of them all. He's certainly assholier than thou and Ned Lamont.
