Anyone who's watched a few seasons of Survivor know that sometimes the little, squirrely snot that nobody likes becomes the all powerful tie-breaking vote, suddenly wooed by two tribes that struggle just to tolerate him. It goes to his head. It never lasts though...
Today I was just sitting here thinking: What does an Obama presidency mean for our friend, Mr. Lieberman? Personally, I can't wait to hear those five, little words: Joe, the tribe has spoken.
While it is fun to bash and complain about Lieberman, I think he should be allowed to caucus with the Dems.
On foreign policy, he is really bad, but on domestic he is pretty good.
And the Obama strategy is going to encourage discussion and even dissent, as to get all opinions. So we should not toss him out. If he wants out, thats another thing. But I would let anyone be a part that wants to.
All Lieberman cares about is protecting Israel. He is a hawk who is putting a foreign nation ahead of his own.
Lieberman has made it very clear why he is supporting McCain, as he is hoping that he will wipe Iran and other threats to Israel off the face of this earth.
Note: I am talking about Lieberman. I am not painting all Jews who vote for McCain with this brush.
Really Robert? Me lighten up? Who the hell had to go into political detox for several months... you or me?
I was just asking what the difference was between what you did and what Fox did to the Times' reporters faces. Seemed a fair question. Thanks for the Tony Snow answer.
If Fox&Friends had said during the piece that they took great pleasure in enlarging these guys' features and yellowing their teeth it wouldn't have been nearly as underhanded. It wouldn't have been underhanded at all in fact.
Not the point though...
This is a blog, Menk.
Fox News is a news channel which claims to be "fair and balanced" and "real journalism."
it is preposterous statements, like these by menck, that cause a person to need take a break. seriously, i cannot believe this exchange.
bob's picture (which i really don't know if it is distorted at all...there are chairs that big), who always has creative posts/pictures, is being held to the same standard as deliberate facial distortions by Fox. unreal.
Mencken, Honestly I don't know what you said that is causing everbody's shorts to bunch up their cracks.
& Bob, there are NO Bad Fridays as long as you are above ground.
Heres my take on this thread
1.) Bob parodies FAUX's photoshop distorting journalists by dissing JoeMamma
2.)Mencken who is a very observant person notes such and furter notes that Joe also has a certain personal sexual obsession.
3.) everyone else in attendance jumps in because they are having boring days.
Just goes to show: NEVER make wise cracks about Joe Libermann's furniture
I personally had a very boring day on the sewer project. Only got to talk to one pretty young mother on the sidewalk and was nearly run down in cold blood by a front end loader only once.
Guys, (1) I don't think Menk meant anything by the "Tony Snow" comment other than "Press Secretary-ish."
(2) To see the original Joe photo (and compare the size of the chairs) click on the image in my post. The NY Times has a link to it halfway down the page.
(3) This is the lamest controversy in blog history.
You guys are way, way too easy to tweak and quite self-unaware when it comes to your "why our farts don't smell as bad as there's" rationalizations.
Bob's email today called The Chief Source "Ohio's Premier Political Blog". Apparently that honor requires less standards than America's shitiest and most biased news source.
Like I said, I just tossed out the comparison. The answer is..... well we're just a blog. Oh okay.
and I don't care about the picture or Lieberman really but Jeff, my style?!!?
To be honest I thought about it, but since it was a one time thing with Robert re Snow, I haven't (although what he said was disgusting, ad he never fully backed off of his original position). I have been guilty of loutish crude statements and behaviours in my time as well. If you are referring to me hammering a certain blogger for his statements, well once is an eye catcher twice is a coincidence 3 times is a pattern, and a certain blogger on here has more than exceeded my limit for hate speech and inflammatory statements and that blogger does not recieve a pass because he believes the awful things he writes. Sort of like Michelle Obama and her pro-seperatist thesis.

VISUAL NOTE: I took great pleasure in enlarging the chairs from the original picture to make Joe look ventriloquist-puppet-sized.
Oh yeah, you can click the image for a related NY Times piece.
Great image. I'm tired of him too.

I wonder how far distorting the size of the chairs in the photo falls from the Fox & Friends Photoshop manipulation of the New York Times reporters.
Really, Lieberman is a big enough wanker without using Fox News tactics to demean him.
Lighten the hell up, menk.
Is that the Israel Flag in the pic?
I am sick of him too for one reason: He primarily represents the interests of a foreign state.

I am in agreement with Silent's thought

Here's what Menk is talking about

And...
God, I'm having a terrible Friday.
Menck, actually, yeah, you need to lighten up. Truth is, that image is funny, it brightened my day, and i'm sure it made others smile as well.
I was wondering who would be first to bring up tony snow to Bob, I would have put my money on T-Dawg, it's more his style. I guess I would have lost.

Was pretty lame also
I think the lame has set in because we all know that we are going to win in Nov
Mench,
Just in case you did not see it, this was written:
"VISUAL NOTE: I took great pleasure in enlarging the chairs from the original picture to make Joe look ventriloquist-puppet-sized."
That is called full-disclosure. If he had done the photo without admitting this, maybe your ridiculous statement would have a pinch of truth.
Please continue to leave us speechless with your keen insight.
