McCain supporter and all around asshole Joe Lieberman came crawling out of the swamp to help his GOP fascist cronies expand Swampland to our education system.
AL! WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING?! I’ve been a political junkie for a long time, and I remember well in 2000 when Al Gore announced Lieberman as his VP pick, screaming at the TV and reaching for whatever I could to throw at it. Since then, we’ve seen just how much of a traitor Lieberman is.
Last night when I saw his picture at the DeVos hearings, I was wondering what the hell is HE doing there? Of course he’s there to support and introduce DeVos. But the Huffington Post has a nice article about some of the things the little creep didn’t bother to disclose to the American people.
Lieberman lavishly praised DeVos, but failed to inform the American people that his law firm, Kasowitz, Benson, Torres & Friedman LLP, “have represented Trump in all manner of matters since at least 2001. Such matters have included, but are certainly not limited to, the restructuring of $1.3 billion in bondholder debt connected to his Atlantic City casinos; a defamation case filed against the author of TrumpNation: The Art of Being the Donald, ... and the fight to keep filings from his 1990 divorce from ex-wife Ivana Trump sealed.”
Most recently, Lieberman’s law firm represented Trump by threatening the New York Times for publishing pieces of Trump’s tax return.
In 2012, asked about his future work upon his retirement from the Senate, Lieberman promised, “I’m not going to lobby. For sure.” In 2013, as a member of Kasowitz Benson, Lieberman registered to be a lobbyist, representing a Libyan politician.
Apparently the lobbying hole that jerk crawled into wasn’t deep enough to keep him from coming out and embarrassing Connecticut and the Democratic party, yet again.
