Joe Lieberman -- made member of the GOP
Joe Lieberman epitomizes the worst in politicians. He is the type of pervert who willfully uses our soldiers as a public relations backdrop while he plays Mr. Rogers and sings "It's a Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood." He isn't interested in pursuing the truth--that serves no purpose for him. If others have to do or be maimed so he can continue to fly in, perform his photo-ops, while willfully ignoring reality, well, so be it. And Joe, go ahead with your cut-and-run threats to bolt to the GOP. You became an honorary 'made' member of the Republican Party with your pathetic and somnolent debate appearance against Dick Cheney in 1999.
Lieberman did it again recently on yet another 'fact-finding' mission to Iraq:

BAGHDAD, Iraq - Spc. David Williams, 22, of Boston, Mass., had two note cards in his pocket Wednesday afternoon as he waited for Sen. Joseph Lieberman. Williams serves in the 82nd Airborne Division from Fort Bragg, N.C., the first of the five "surge" brigades to arrive in Iraq, and he was chosen to join the Independent from Connecticut for lunch at a U.S. field base in Baghdad.
The night before, 30 other soldiers crowded around him with questions for the senator.
He wrote them all down. At the top of his note card was the question he got from nearly every one of his fellow soldiers:
"When are we going to get out of here?"
The rest was a laundry list. When would they have upgraded Humvees that could withstand the armor-penetrating weapons that U.S. officials claim are from Iran? When could they have body armor that was better in hot weather?
So for Joe's happiness and, after all, that's what really matters, in unison, let's all pretend that we are in Baghdad:
It's a beautiful day in this neighborhood,However, we have a suggestion, something Lieberman should not only hear but memorize. Let's all sing another Mr. Rogers song -- "Look and Listen"-- to Senator Lieberman:
A beautiful day for a neighbor,
Would you be mine? Could you be mine?
It's a neighborly day in this beautywood,
A neighborly day for a beauty,
Would you be mine? Could you be mine?
I have always wanted to have a neighbor just like you,
I've always wanted to live in a neighborhood with you.
So let's make the most of this beautiful day,
Since we're together, we might as well say,
Would you be mine? Could you be mine?
Won't you be my neighbor?
Won't you please, won't you please,
Please won't you be my neighbor?
If you will look carefully,top
Listen carefully,
You will find a lot of things carefully.
Look ... and listen.
It's good to
Look carefully.
Listen carefully.
That's the way you learn a lot of things carefully.
Look. Look...and listen.
Some things you see are confusing.
Some things you hear are strange.
But if you ask someone to explain one or two,
You'll begin to notice a change in you.
If you will
Look carefully.
Listen carefully.
That's a way to keep on growing carefully.
Look, look, look, and listen.
