A Disgusting Transition

A transition

"Want to be my Chief of Staff -- careful where you step"


"Now I look like a Republican? Don't I?"

A BRIEF TRANSITION

Rather than just state that there is only a one-party system with two wings to it, Senator Lieberman of Connecticut illustrates the point for us. It is also a very fitting way to commemorate the start of “daylight savings time,” a phrase that really means “Ok, everybody get up an hour early so you can go shopping after work, and send your kids to school in the dark.”

We see the two illustrations above that pretty clearly make the point. One is of him alone saying “I seem to have lost stature, but the Republicans like me,” and the other is him with the person who has the office he claimed to want, V.P. Cheney. Dick (do not call him “Richard” as it confuses the issue), is saying “Careful not to step in the shit.” There is also the possibility he is saying, “Look, we know you didn’t get to be VP, but I’ve got room for a Chief of Staff.”

Looserman was a Democrat, but liked the war in Iraq. He was defeated in the primary for the nomination and then ran as an independent. He was re-elected, the majority of his votes coming from Republicans. He was supported strongly by the Republican Party. (So much for their loyalty to their own party members – their candidate got about 5% of the vote.) So he is a Republicrat.

He supported the impeachment attempt against Bill Clinton, a fellow Democrat at the time and Clinton, for whatever reasons, supported him the primaries.

He was supposed to help Gore win the election in 1990. Yet in one district in Florida Buchanan won overwhelmingly, and it was primarily the pro-Israel crowd who hated Pat Buchanan for his stance on the middle east. How could this happen? Buchanan himself asserts that “those people” wouldn’t vote for me. Is it possible that something was wrong with the voting in Florida that led to the Decider’s appointment to the Presidency?

In the words of Hank Williams, Sr., “Good bye Joe, me gotta go, meeyo myoo.”
