Good Fucking Riddance

Even if he weren’t weltering up to his dewlap in Iraqi blood, there'd be plenty of good reasons to detest Joe Lieberman, from his aiding and abetting of Bell Curve pseudoscholar Charles Murray to his repellent exploitation of Terri Schiavo.

The official narrative is the radical left blogosphere has “lynched” a principled centrist. In reality, Lieberman is an unblushing con artist whose ugly burlesque of virtue is almost as offensive as his tireless pandering to the hard right.

Lieberman’s “concession” speech (see photo above) was a perfect demonstration of the man’s vindictiveness, and of the grueling sanctimony he consistently mistakes for gravitas. I’m very grateful to everyone who worked to deliver an historic humiliation to this monster of vanity, and I look forward to his total political annihilation. As Lieberman himself once said - in reference, of course, to someone else - "there's no prizes for second place in American politics."
