still not getting it.

Atrios posts this from the DSCC:

“The Democratic voters of Connecticut have spoken and chosen Ned Lamont as their nominee. Both we and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) fully support Mr. Lamont’s candidacy. Congratulations to Ned on his victory and on a race well run.
“Joe Lieberman has been an effective Democratic Senator for Connecticut and for America. But the perception was that he was too close to George Bush and this election was, in many respects, a referendum on the President more than anything else. The results bode well for Democratic victories in November and our efforts to take the country in a new direction.”

MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE? My ASS "more than anything else". How about this?

"In Connecticut, it shouldn't take more than a short ride to get to another hospital,"

That was explaining his opposition to the "morning after" pill, specifically affirming his belief that hospitals can choose NOT to fill prescriptions or provide emergency contraceptives (on a side note, notice the word "contraceptive". that means no babies are harmed. But the religious right is not interested in saving babies, but in controlling lives. That kind of proves it, their dislike of contraceptives).
Joe also helped destroy the fillibuster (we saved it so we can never use it, we're so great!), push through bankruptcy "reform" (screw you poor people!) and get Alito and Roberts nominated (loves him some wingnuts). Joe sucked. He practically fellated Cheney in the 2000 debate, while savaging Ned in debates. Joe only has a spine when criticizing fellow Democrats.
And of course his support of Bush and his disastrous military adventurism is hard to deny. Lieberman coming out and saying "Things are peachy in Iraq!" is insane. Imagine if thousands (relative numbers) of people were being killed in the US every day because of terrorist attacks and religious warfare. You think a fucking school getting painted is going to make the news you dick? I don't. I think the headlines might read something like "Thousands Killed, Holy Fucking Shit!"
I know Joe's a corpse. He can still fuck up the election in his stinky corpse-ness by running as an independent. He has no chance of winning, but it would likely put a Republican in the Senate from Connecticut. So if Joe wants to take out the last bit of his legacy, pour gas over it, and burn it on top of the ashes of his credibility, then an independent run is the way to go. (Note: Confirmed, Joe is running as an independent. Fuck you Joe)
Joe's independent run basically proves all he cares about is staying in power. This is the Zidane of politics....long distinguished career, goin' down in flames at the end. Him and DeLay. I think I'll call him Joe "Zizsou" Lieberman from now on. Fucking dickhead.
