I always Joe's campaign was destined to succeed, but then I realized that's really stupid because Joe Lieberman sucks. Over the past few weeks, you might have heard a
variation of the meme that Lieberman would "shake-up" his staff in the event of a primary loss.
Expect Lieberman to can anyone who was associated with 2004 Kerry campaign and replace them with a team of pungent veterans who will take the fight to Lamont. As Lieberman tours the broiling state, you can almost hear the gloves coming off in preparation for a fight to the finish in November.
In fact, I can hear the gloves coming off. Coming off to slap Joe Lieberman in the face! Joe's not shaking up his staff- he's spinning their upcoming resignations.
Via The Carpetbagger Report:
Two independent sources have confirmed that some Lieberman aides decided well in advance of yesterday's primary that if the senator abandoned the Democratic Party for an independent campaign, they would resign in protest. Given yesterday's results and Lieberman's announcement, that's exactly what's about to happen.
Staffers resigning in protest? Why would they do that?
Because no one, not even Joe's closest staffers and friends,
wants him to run for Senate.
Who better to see Joe's selfishness and narcissism up close than the people who have worked with him non-stop with him for the past few months.
The staff "shake-up," in other words, isn't necessarily Lieberman cleaning house -- it's Lieberman losing staffers who won't work for someone who isn't a Democrat.
Okay Joe, now that even your staffers are leaving--people who were crazy to work for you in the first place--can you bow out gracefully?
PS No one in that picture likes you, Joe.
