Slow Joe not taking the job/Reid says he's all alone

Chris Matthews reported this morning on MSNBC that Lieberman will not take Rummy's job.

Harry Reid says Joe is alone in his beliefs....

Audio-MP3 (Hat tip to Think Progress)

Reid: "I’ve spoken to Joe Lieberman and he knows he’s out there alone. I mean, literally alone. Joe is a fine man, he has strong feelings, but he’s just alone. Even Republicans don't agree with Joe."

Who the heck does, anyway? Maybe Haliburton?

It mystifies me who's backing him so much. I heard he has strong jewish support, but that's not enough to get elected like he has.

The vast majority of American Jews are liberal and the vast majority of liberal American Jews are NOT Israel firsters or Likud backers.

I live in Queens, New York City. When I turn on cable TV there are two Zionist TV shows. They are not Likud backers because they're so far right they think Likud is selling them out (who knows what they will think now Sharon left Likud). They're Kahanists. There's also a pro-Likud show on that doesn't celebrate Kahane and all of that, of the three shows about Israel and Palestine, they look mild in comparison, spreading nonsense from Joan Peters which even conservative Israelis think is BS.

Perhaps it's like the rest of the US media, the right gets all the media coverage, whereas the left is represented by people like Alan Colmes or whatever. Thank God Christopher Hitchens is not "representing the left" any more, I thought he was a little turd even when he was supposedly progressive.

I mean, I like a big tent and everything, but is out-GOPing the GOP something we need in the Democratic party?

Chairing the Comission on Battlefield Monuments, or whatever it's called. Probably challenged a statue to a duel ;)

Less trouble from him in his present situation. Although if the statue chose to make the duel a battle of wits, Zell could be pretty hard-pressed to out-argue an inanimate object.

retirement.

Zellout announced he WOULD NOT SEEK RE-ELECTION prior to his ass-kissing at the repuke convention.

It really seems as though Joe Lieberman thinks that this is still late-2003. Joementum!

Yesterday for a brief moment, the story was about Democrats and Joe Lieberman trying to silence critics of the war.

Today, Harry Reid, as spokesman for the party, essentially uses words to say that Democrats are united on the war, and that is the hard-core supporters, Joe Lieberman the poster-boy, is the one out of step.

Again and again, Reid maneuvers adeptly, not only enabling a unified caucus, but speaking as the leader of a unified party. I actually think that this is helping Democrats in the house get motivated too.

trying to silence the Dems, yesterday, on cnn..and it was Pathetic.

Jim Dean..the President of DFA got a petition out and a lot of us signed it..telling joe it was patriotic to question bush's failed strategy in Iraq.

One of them posted that he shouldn't be removed because:

1). He is popular in CT and has a 70% approval rating (according to a poll that wasn't provided in the post).

2). He is unchallenged by a Republican for his Senate seat (this was the most unbelievable reason I've seen yet).

3). He votes the party line (though this member of DU failed to acknowledge Joe's voting record on War and Peace, even when I kept offering it to them and explained that these votes undermine Constitutional rights and are enacted as law and his votes on the party line don't get enacted as law and may never again have a chance to if our rights become further eroded by his votes on War and Peace).

My opinion is here:

we must comb DU and find any remnant that doesn't despise Joe Lieberman with every bone in their body. :sarcasm:

I think C&L's headline misses the mark, Imus doesn't really smack Joe down, he just asks some obvious questions which Joe handles very poorly.
