Birthday cake hurled onto Lieberman

Cake A little more to that Miami traffic accident yesterday involving Joe Lieberman aboard the Straight Talk Express: Turns out the impact sent a staffer's chocolate birthday cake with thick white frosting smack into the Connecticut senator

"At the moment of impact I was sitting in a booth ... right in front of counter right where the cake was. The cake went all over me. That was the end of my suit,'' he said, apologizing for the lack of suit for a taping of "Political Connections" on Bay News 9. "I always wondered whether sometime a political protester would hit me with a pie in the face. I never thought a friendly birthday cake would attack me from the rear."

Lieberman, who might just be spending more time in Florida than Barack Obama Florida co-chair and MD homeowner Robert Wexler, also brushed off Wexler's suggestion that he's a different person than he was seven years ago.

j"The fact is that iI have not changed. The Democratic party has changed from what it was under Bill Clinton, particularly on foreign policy, trade and economic policy,'' he also talked up his environmental credentials before hopping into a McCain volunteers black Hummer and heading to the next event.

"We're just Humming along. This campaign is Humming now,'' Lieberman said, brushing off our offer to check the tire pressure.

Careful Florida seniors. Given McCain's unstable personality and his record on seniors' issues (Medicare cuts and Social Security privatization) he just might decide to take away your driver's licenses as well.

McCain stood with Bush next to Air Force One photo op of his birthday cake --- while New Orleans was drowning. Now he claims to NOLA that if he was president he'd fly right there.

These fat frat boys don't need more cake, let them eat bread like their overtaxed victims.

Voters should take notice, even the cakes are fighting back against Fake Talk Expressions.

I wish Joe would just go onto the profession God intended for him: A cartoon character voice--a whiny chipmunk or something.

how can you trust someone who flat out says he will serve so many terms when running against a long time senator

then when the time is up RUNS AGAIN!!

what a douchebag

The Obamessiah is the true Chosen One.

4:40 you know ya!!

GO BAMA!!

The Isreali cabinet is wondering when their foreign minister will be returning. Then again he is doing such a good job representing Ireal to America they are happy he is here among the Americans talking up their interest. Of course he received the memo today to talk to his manchurian candidate McCain about all that money he is taking from those Arabs recently reported. The homeland aint happy.

His brainwasher from Nam. That's who'll run the country -- his anger at his dad for making him try to be admiral #3 as well as J.S.McCain III --- and getting him made crazy and craven for life instead.

"spending more time in Florida than Barack Obama Florida co-chair and MD homeowner Robert Wexler"

Dang! A rare missile fired at a Dem.

"Lieberman, who might just be spending more time in Florida than Barack Obama Florida co-chair and MD homeowner Robert Wexler..."

I don't care who you are, now that's funny!!!

Wexler's a weasel.

Good.

Wexler should go back on Steve Colbert & give it another try.

The weenie never shows up in Boca in his own district.

On behalf of all weasels in North America, I resent the comparison with Wexler.

McCain is a dog and pony show...

His dog is being part of the Keating Five that caused enormous grief and tragedy during the S&L crisis.

His wife and father in law made millions from the Lincoln Savings and Loan which caused Suicides and financial ruin.

His Pony is to steal Florida's Space Program and cause financial ruin to the Sunshine State.

Dedicated to all you "turn Florida blue" progressive bloggers. This is what you will get in November: a big Zero.

The Neocon cabal (including Lieberman) has done immense and perhaps irreparable damage to this Country, our Constitution and the Planet. They have performed countless illegal/ immoral acts the past 8 years trying to ensure the survival of Israel. The truth is that Obama is much likelier to obtain an ENDURING PEACE in the region with his amazing ability to communicate and convince people that it is in their best interest to: "beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks."— [Isaiah 2:4]. Lieberman, religious Jew that he supposedly is, should realize God prefers that "nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more" rather take McCain's approach to "Bomb, Bomb, Bomb Iran".

S&L Savings and Loan crisis certainly involved W's brother Marvin Bush. Marvin was in the epicenter of the scandal and should be in jail. Thank goodness dad held higher offices in this country to keep two of his son's out of jail time after time. As for John Ellis Bush, he kept his head above such water lines as far as I know... even though, he supported Newt's kingdom-come proposal of The New American Century bull..

"My lord and savior has arrived,
bow on your knees and worship your messiah liberals"
