Local time where you're at. ("Where you're at"?)

And to think we wanted this bozo for the GOP.

Sen. Joe Lieberman has changed his tune on Barack Obama.

After campaigning across the country for Republican John McCain in 2008 and attacking Obama as naive, untested and unwilling to take on powerful special interests, Lieberman now showers praise on the popular new Democratic president.

One wonders what he was promised in Demoscum caucus.&#160 How does one go from ripping B. HUSSEIN!!!&#160 Obambi and endorsing his opponent for President to donning the Lewinsky kneepads in six short months?

“He’s shown real leadership,” Lieberman told The Associated Press in an interview. “Bottom line: I think Barack Obama, president of the United States, is off to a very good start.”

Oh, yeah, right.&#160 Wow.&#160 Dow down by half from it’s all-time high just last year, the Ayatollah can hardly nominate anyone to Cabinet or underling posts to save his pathetic life (they just had another one&#160 back out the other day!), getting dissed by those who aren’t our friends and completely dissing the ones who are…yeah, Lieberman, that’s a helluva start, alright.

The Connecticut independent, who faces re-election in 2012 in a state where Obama is popular, is eager to mend fences with Democrats still fuming over his criticism of Obama during the general election campaign.

Lieberman has applauded Obama’s national security team. He gushed over Obama’s “inspirational and unifying” inaugural. Lieberman even played a key role helping Obama win Senate passage of the economic stimulus plan.

In other words, when it suited his purposes to make nicey-nicey eyes at the GOP, he inched a bit right and sidled up to McRINO.&#160 But now that he once again has the hots for the Demoscum…

As if to underscore the point, Lieberman has even clashed on the Senate floor with his pal McCain over the stimulus plan and a District of Columbia voting rights bill.

…then it’s time to throw the Republicans – even the liberal RINOs – under the Al-Obambi bus, isn’t it, “Pal” Joey?

“I don’t think of Joe as the independent, I really think of Joe as a Democrat,” said Lieberman’s home state colleague, Sen. Christopher Dodd, D-Conn.

There’s your money shot, right there.

Now don’t get me wrong.&#160 This shift left (if it’s really a shift at all) doesn’t surprise me in the least.&#160 (Remember the parable of the scorpion & the frog.)&#160 What it does&#160 do is piss me off even more at the GOP, who had brief wet dreams of bringing this worthless piece of leftist crap into the party and poisoning it even further.

Memo to the GOP:&#160 This is why you lose elections.&#160 You cozy the fuck up to the Donktards, and you completely ignore the conservative base that got you the White House five out of the last seven elections, and complete control of Congress from ’94 – ’04.

It’s when you make eyes at the Left that the Right deserts you.&#160 If you bastards would just develop a spine, you might find yourself with solid majorities again.

Lieberman’s campaigning for McCain hurt him with Connecticut voters, particularly Democrats, Schwartz said.

Connecticut’s Attorney General Richard Blumenthal, who is mentioned as a possible 2012 Senate Democratic candidate, would beat Lieberman by 28 points in a hypothetical matchup, a recent Quinnipiac poll showed.

Might as well.&#160 Like the salt that’s lost its flavor, it’s time to toss Lieberman out and trample his political remains underfoot.

And to think – for a time, the GOP wanted this turd.

Ew.&#160
