Joe Lieberman, Anti-Fund-Raiser (”Fund Reducer”? “Fund Remover”?)
Amusing. Incumbent senator Susan Collins (R-ME) holds a fundraiser; Joe Lieberman shows up to support her; Lieberman’s presence so pisses off the netroots that they organize fundraising for her opponent, Tom Allen. Using Lieberman’s support as the selling point, they nearly double the contribution amount that Collins received.
Would’ve been cheaper for her to put up Lieberman in a local hotel and told him not to show his face. With room service, even. It’ll be neat to see if he has this same toxic effect on other people he supports. Ultimately, I’d love to see him lose his lynchpin status in the Senate, because his whole oh-I-might-become-a-Republican-better-listen-to-me act is just goddamned irritating. But even before the elections, maybe people will start to see that trying to keep Lieberman on your side is not such a great thing.
Also: video of Bush after a year-long beating. I could almost feel sorry for him.
