Hey Richard,

How's it going old friend? I'm assuming you're either out on the yacht for the weekend, or trying to drop some of the "high-risk" groups from coverage. LOL :-D

I just got done with my Fox News Sunday appearance. Those guys love me for some reason. They just let me go on and criticize the president whenever I feel like it. Brought to you by the dude who forgave me after John's campaign...I mean I said Obama doesn't put his country first and kept my chairmanship...talk about gullible.

Speaking of gullible, I wanted to touch base with you about our little arrangement. I'm fine with opposing the public option, and threatening to filibuster until they drop it, and you depositing an exorbitant amount of money into my wife's bank account. You still good with that?

I've been going out there like you said and using phrases like "bankrupt the country," and "recession" and "government takeover" and you're right, it does sound scary! It it's totes easy because the Republicans are saying the same things day in and day out, backing me up, making me look tough like when I voted for the Iraq War. No one's ever going to bully me again! I've sure come a long way since High School.

I am getting a bit annoyed that these peasants from my state keep calling my office about this legislation. Don't they get it by now? I only ran on a Universal Health Care platform in '06 so that I could beat stupid Ned Lamont. And they thought I meant it?  LMFAO here. Seriously.

Hopefully, this will teach the Democrats a lesson about messing with me, and Kelly Olsen for not letting me take her to junior prom, and that stupid jock Gary Phillis for calling me Droopy. See if you'll ever get health coverage now Gary HAHAHAH

Anyways I have to go practice saying "as a matter of conscience" without bursting out laughing.

Thanks again,

Joe

In response as to whether Lieberman was an independent or a democrat, I called him a backstabbing turncoat rightwing obstructionist pig and I was censored from future comments for it. This was in the article comment section of The Dallas Morning News, a supposedly liberal newspaper. Can I call him that here? If so, consider it done.

I don't understand how you can run this article without stating up front that it is satire, not an actual e-mail from Joe Lieberman. I'm no lover of the Senator, but, hey, fair is fair and I want my intelligence respected by news sites I trust. This is "dirty pool" and don't like that no matter from whom it originates.

I'm a progressive . I want health care with the public option but cmon does anybody believe Joe would be stupid enough to write an email like this telling somebody to deposit money in his wife's account? I think not . I think he is stupid like a fox . What is the source of this claim?

Poor joe lilly liver conjob. His wife sits on alot of health care boards and receives hugh incentives. Gee I wonder if the neoconjob who hates liberals loves being con by joe and his likes. Liberals go after cheats, not like you rightwing neoconjobs. Aw sorry - I forgot you rightwing nutjob neoconjobs love to have a leader tell you how to act, just like armey is doing with his brown shirts. Lieberman is like so many in our government - been their to long. Remember americans all politicans are public servant - YOUR EMPLOYER. Don't tell this to the right neoconjobs - they love to have a master control their little brains.

Joe took $763,000.00 from insurance companies last year. Insurance companies are spending 1.5 million a day to lobby DC. How many people could have life saving surgeries with this money? How many people would this money have saved from foreclosures? How many veterans wouldn't have committed suicide because they would have been insured and received care. Shame on Joe....

to hatenomore1 @40:
It may be true that the Democratic party has a socialist wing (I doubt communist as you maintain) but I would respectfully point out that the Republican party has a very strong and vigorous fascist wing. They clearly espouse the 14 elements of fascist regimes. Thank you, but I think Jesus was a socialist, never a fascist. And to think, I'm not a christian either...

I have got to admin, this article offends me a little bit.

The article is called "Secret Joe Lieberman E-Mail Leaked". Couldn't Air America at least have slapped a ? at the end of that, if not flat out told us that this is satire?

I know this is not a real e-mail because I am not gullible. However, there are a good number of people out there that are. Isn't there enough miss-information floating around right now?

GetOffMe

lolol....the person that wrote this is not older than 22 years old.........not Joe

why do I say that? Joe wouldn't use the word "dude" and he probably
doesn't even know what LOL means. And Joe woulda probably used spell check.

We still need to get rid of joe however...Just say "NO to Joe" Connecticut.

You know! I'm sick of the Kehilla.

Sir Real

Great satire,or is it? Sounds totally believable given Lieberman's threats of a filibuster against health care reform and his relationship with Aetna. Ol' Joe just can't seem to get it through his head that he is on the wrong side of the issues facing our country and the world at large but hey, money talks,or in Lieberman's and so many others case money buys you a senator.

For the life of me I cannot understand how the Democratic members of Congress ever believed that Lieberman would EVER play nice with them and "caucus" like a Democrat. Nothing about what he has done over the past several years speaks of any integrity, honesty or ethical standards in this person. He is the lowest possible form of human form. I think he is a twin of Cheney, they seem to be made of the same evil cloth. The Democratic Congress better wake up before he completely destroys the entire Democratic Congress. He needs to be srtipped of any and all power and seniority positions and sent to sit in a corner with his fellow war mongering buddies and teabaggers.

THIS is what you call "Satire" and not yellow journalism. Perhaps it's time to learn the difference between the two...

Just pull the rug out from Mr. Leiberman's feet. I believe he is toast in his state now. But the Dems need to take all of his perks away!

As long as we keep used rigged voting machines then the Liebermans of this world will keep getting elected..

Very funny.

Just let the guy alone... just make sure he does not get elected again! Like they say,"You cannot teach an old dog new tricks"

The article is bogus and maybe amateurish, but oh how easily it could be true and is for many others who claim to OUR REPRESENTATIVES ! Yea believe that and I have a bridge I can sell ya !
I don't get how the dems can stomach Lieberman. When I think he might have been a Vice President !
Well we did get worse, makes Joe look like a boy scout.

They all betray us. Unless we start taking our power back this country's days as any kind of power, are numbered. The rich will still have power and money, it's us who will be the victims.

@DougH @8

Just wait for 2010. If the Dems pick up a seat or tweo in the Senate, then lyin' Joe can kiss his chairmanships goodbye. No doubt within hours of return results, he will announce his misguidedness 2004-2008 and seek to "return to the fold."

If you believe this to be a true e-mail, you just got punked. I have a bridge for sale, if you are interested.

Jeffrey Dunn

Perhaps shocking but not at all surprising.

The day he was chosen to run for VP Al Gore we were assured that Bush would be re-elected.

Lieberman makes me embarassed to have been raised a Jew.
Lieberman should not be allowed to call himself human. Did not know that lizards could be Jewish.
Lieberman is primordial ooze. The gullible people fo Ct. should recal him NOW.

hatenomore1

fu You sound a little confused. I guess the satire escaped you. By the way, what you actually said would violate islamic law, as all bodies must be buried within 24 hours of death. Delivering the bodies to the military (commander in chief), would violate their religious beliefs, which I thought all you "progressives" are loath to do.

You didn't agree with what I said. You made a statement that had nothing to do with what I said, claimed it was what I said, and then agreed with it. More bogus posting from the banned one.

Funny, he keeps getting re-elected, regardless of his "perceived" faults.

P.S>..and let's not forget how he blamed the Lamont Campaign for his own website issues during their run off, that the FBI determined BEFORE the election was over, Joe already knew his own people screwed up his website and still he LIED and blamed Lamont even knowing the truth.This is what LIEberman does best, he lies to the people of CT. LIES to get his way, lies to get elected, lies lies lies...

ljl765 your are 100 % right ,, and this is how you know Lieberman is a republicans..

A region between the Black and Caspian seas that includes southwest Russia, Georgia, Azerbaijan, and Armenia, and that forms part of the traditional boundary between Europe and Asia. Inhabited before 2000 b.c., it was the scene of countless invasions over the millennia. Conquered by Russia during the 18th and 19th centuries, the region has vast oil resources, which were a major German objective in World War II. Following the collapse of the USSR in 1991, the region became the site of various secessionist movements.

Do you call Lieberman getting on the republican stage with all other republicans,, to support McCain and Palin is caucusing for the democratic party..

Let's do a history lesson on self serving Joe LIEberman, when he ran for VP with Gore and the CT Senate election he took money from both campaigns and the state had to change the law so no one else could double dip us again. They forgave him. When he lost the election to Lamont, and then switched parties and stole the election anyway with bold faced lies, he wasn't thinking of we the people of CT. or even the country. He's been either running for VP or President or something for years now, and none of it is about service to people. He's self serving, and what he does consistantly is grow his own power, not ours. He disrespected the party running w/McCain and then disrespected our President and STILL he gets a Chairmanship? Now he rejects the CT voters against reform and assumes this is OK? Does he know where the proverbial bodies are buried or are the people of CT just blinded by his whiny smile? Joe must go, period, we need a Senator who is for the people, not corporate power and not his wallet. If he is allowed to do this to block Reform, then the Democrats deserve what they get.nothing. CT voter NOT for LIEberman and haven't been for a decade..

It was JOE that wanted to be an Independent Democrat not me.... Hell the democrats didn't want his a... in our party . But , spineless Reid took Joe for his word that he wanted to be a democrats and join their policies..

Most people by than knew that Lieberman's word was not worth the breath it takes to speak them..

Suck on that for a while...
What did your republicans wing nuts do?? Kick you out of the tea bagger group...
Anyone which comes to republican Lieberman's defense , we know what party you are humping for...

Shame you were silent when your boys Bush and Cheney were destroying our country , democracy and economy..

But h... republicans are known to be hypocrites...

The e-mail is brilliant. I hope I am quite wrong, but I have an idea that this is how Joe really thinks and behaves--along with many (all?) of his Republican pals in the Senate. Joe and the Republican elite take for granted the privileges they wish to deny to millions of hard-working Americans. Theirs is a "philosophy" of greed, power, and, above all, selfishness.

Washington is so disassociated with the American people, with the country's interests, with reality. Likewise with Wall Street. What a mess.

Next to this, Lincoln had it easy.

Hey Pete: Look at your post. You see the part that says: Sen. Joe Lieberman, I-Conn. Question: Do you know what the "I" means? From your post, I gather you don't.

44.
Pete2000

What more do you wish to hear for traitor Joe of the democrats...
Sounding more like an independent than a Democrat, Sen. Joe Lieberman, I-Conn., tells ABC News he will campaign for some Republican candidates during the 2010 midterm elections and may not seek the Democratic Senate nomination when he runs for re-election in 2012.

43.
hatenomore1

Yes I have listened to him. He disagrees with the current hose bill. That doesn't mean he is against Health Care Reform, just the current one being proposed.

hatenomore1 have you ever listen to what Joe said..
Joe was for health care ,, to be re-elected in 2006. Now that he has join the republicans party in their campaign against and to attack, not only democratic policies (he was for , before he was against) but even stated he was for republicans on the ballot ticket running against Democrats.. The same as he campaign for McCain & Palin in the run against Obama..
Yes I am sure that republicans will defend and try to protect his actions..

hatenomore1

By the way, FU. As you well know, I am a conservative, who usually votes Libertarian. My position is, and has always been, is that there really is little difference between parties, except one has a communist wing, and the other doesn't. Other than that, they are virtually the same.
