Sen. Joe Lieberman, who went from being the Democratic Party's nominee for vice president to being Republican John McCain's convention speaker, suggests the heat of the campaign has died down now, and he feels less threatened in Washington.

"I no longer need food tasters,'' Lieberman said in an appearance on FOX News Channel's Your World with Cavuto. "We've been through something and its over.''

That doesn't mean the longtime senator, who became an independent when the Democrats wouldn't nominate him for another turn in the Senate from Connecticut, is going home any time soon to the party that put him on its White House ticket in 2000.

"I will remain an Independent Democrat,'' Lieberman said. "I appreciate the fact that my colleagues continued my chairmanship... At the beginning there was definitely suggestion that I should drop the chairmanship...my colleagues really rallied around."

As for President Barack Obama: "No grudges....We all are invested now in having the new president succeed. We need him to succeed for the good of the country."

Look up constipation and you will see Joe.
Look up bilious gas bubble and you will see Joe.
Look up gas bag whiner and you will see Joe.
Look up rice cake and you will see Joe.
I don't hate Joe.
He is simply a used tool.


"Hey Joe, where ya goin' with that
milquetoast in your hand?'
'I'm goin' to the TV room to watch Lawrence Welk! Yeah I am! I gotta do it!'
'I gotta watch it, man!'♩

Tell me it aint so Joe. A true liberal would have enough smarts never to sit down for a pocker game when they know the dealer is dishonest and the deck is stacked.


So, looks like Joe was in to poisoning folks' food, in addition to supporting the genocide of the Palestinians?
KICK THIS GUY OUT OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY!

Um, no, it ain't so, Joe. Your Republican party's defacto leader, Rush Limbaugh, is officially on record as wanting Obama to fail.
