Retraction!
So last post I alleged — with irony quotes and everything — that the Connecticut for Lieberman party was bullshit. It turns out that that’s only partly true. The party was certainly founded as a bullshit front so Joe-Joe could be sure he’d get on the ballot even if he lost the nomination (which he did, incidentally), but apparently in the last two years it’s transformed itself into a party opposed to bullshit political gaming like that, and to Joe Lieberman in particular. Hey, any political party opposed to Joe Lieberman can’t be all bad, and any party with enough of a sense of humour to be completely at odds with its own name is OK in my book. So I guess I owe those guys an apology.
Wow, that’s fucking AMAZING. You think they’d at least change the name. Poor Joe can’t catch a break. What the fuck does he do in 2012? Start a party called Connecticut Against Lieberman?

That’s the best thing ever. Clearly what he must do next is start a party called “We Definitely Want to Re-Elect Lieberman” because when *those* guys turn on him, it’ll be even funnier.
