Since Joe Lieberman has shared with us they he is pondering joining a Republican filibuster of healthcare reform, I thought I'd like to share as well...
I humbly submit to you (and especially to you, Joe) a list of things that would not earn my vote for cloture:
- If Joe Lieberman had his leg caught in a bear trap and was slowly bleeding to death while the vultures circled, you could count on me to vote to continue debate on the motion to provide him with a hacksaw and a drink of water.
- If Joe Lieberman was trapped in a collapsed mineshaft and was going to run out of breathable air in approximately 10 hours, I would proudly vote against cloture on the proposal to commence a drilling operation to rescue him.
- If Joe Lieberman tripped over a bucket of gasoline while falling into a campfire and I has just consumed an entire 12 pack of pabst blue ribbon, I would endure the bladder pain and refrain from relieving myself because I wouldn't piss on Joe Lieberman if he were on fire.
- If Joe Lieberman accidently wandered onto Kim Jong Il's nuclear test site, I would vote against dispatching President Clinton to negotiate his release.
- If Joe Lieberman had contracted a flesh eating bacteria, I would vote to continue the debate on the proposal to prescribe antibiotics for him. Because he is the one who wants to deny America the medicine it needs.
(Feel free to share your list with us)
