Joseph Lieberman and his AMAZING Technicolor TURNCOAT!

Look at me!  Look at me!! Sen. Joseph Lieberman in his never-ending quest to become relevant has again stabbed the Democrats in the back by vowing to filibuster any version of health care reform that contains a public option.  Will Democrats ever learn??  To provide context to Lieberman’s position it is important to point out that several of the largest insurance companies in the nation have their corporate headquarters in Lieberman’s state of Connecticut.  In addition, Lieberman has received more than $2.5 million dollars from the insurance and pharmaceutical industries running his state.  The Connecticut senator has received $65, 200 from Aetna alone for just the 2010 election cycle.  Did we also mention that 68 percent of Connecticut residents favor a public option and only 20 percent oppose a public plan?  Did we further mention that one poll indicates that 73 percent of INDEPENDENTS in Connecticut favor a public option.  Therefore, Lieberman will do one of two things in his desperate bid for attention.  He is either going to stick it to his constituents and cater to his base-the insurance industry- thereby ruining any chance of reelection.  Or, he will require Reid et al to satisfy his temper tantrum and narcissism by giving him a little attention after which he will do what is expected of him because he owes it to Democrats.  After all they did save him from irrelevancy following his last magnificent betrayal that was the McCain campaign.
