In a Friday interview with the Stamford Advocate, Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-CT) — one of Sen. John McCain’s (R-AZ) foreign policy advisers — said he would attend the Republican National Convention this summer:

Friday, Lieberman said he will attend the Republican National Convention this summer, “if Senator McCain thinks it will be helpful to be there in some capacity.” <…>

“I am not going to attend the Democratic Convention for obvious reasons,” Lieberman said.

Lieberman, whose Democratic superdelegate status was stripped earlier this year, also added that he’d likely support Rep. Chris Shays (R-CT) against his Democratic challenger. “I am going to wait and see, but let me just say Chris Shays is a great congressman,” Lieberman said


(I wonder what those 30% of Connecticut Democrats are thinking ...now.)

1. Maybe HE can challenge Chris Matthews to a duel this time out ...

[madaboutharry]

2. He should just become a republican

and stop the BS.

[mnhtnbb]

3. Can't they strip him of his membership in the party?

[elehhhhna]

7. He's not a Dem superdel, is he?

[Oreo]

11. See my comment below

9. he's not in the party anymore, he still caucus' with the Dems in the Senate

but that could change and make DarthCheney the tie breaker

not sure what that would do to committee assignments etc. I think the only reason Lieman still does caucus with us is to keep his committee chairmanship which they didn't strip

[kohodog]

23. He votes Republican more than Dem,

and because of Republican filibusters most laws require 60 votes anyway. Time to throw him out and strip him of his seniority and committe chairmanship. The Dems will still remain in charge of the committees until the next Congress is formed and I think they stand to win more seats.

See ya Joe.

4. K&N a slimebag is a drag, but DUers need to see this n/t

[AlCzervik]

5. just like Zell Miller.

not a surprise really.

[DJ13]

6. I heard he's going as Hillary's date

:shrug:

[Oreo]

8. Lieberman lost his superdelegate status in 2007

The reports that his endorsing McCain made him lose his status is wrong.

If he had been a Democrat and endorsed McCain then it would be true.
The DNC confirmed with us that he hasn't been on the superdelegate list since early 2007

[depakid]

10. And this man still has his seniority? and committee assignments?

How pathetic the Democratic "leadership" has become. No other word. Ujust pathetic- and deserving of ZERO respect from anyone- least of all the Republicans in the administration who thumb their noses and abuse them.

[marmar]

12. He'll have a whole arena full of asses to kiss.....

I really can't stand that POS.

[AlCzervik]

14. hopefully he'll bring McCain some of that Joenertia.

[GhostofSandpiper]

13. Is this a surpise to anyone?

Joe Loserman was re-elected by defeating a Democratic candidate.

No one besides Harry Reid pretends that Joe is still a Dem.

[Rex]

15. 'I am not going to attend the Democratic Convention for obvious reasons'

Stupid Joe.

[NutmegYankee]

16. What an Asshole.

But those of us who voted for Lamont knew he was actually the republican candidate. The republican party ditched their own guy to favor Lieberman.


Hey Joe, this is for YOU!

[KamaAina]

17. One of McClone's foreign policy advisers?

Oh great. "Traitor Joe", indeed!

[Hydra]

18. You know, it's funny

I remember when people here were saying that we needed holy joe- that Ned Lamont would be a bad choice...

I wonder what rocks those people are hiding under now. They were quite full of themselves, at the time.

[Nutmegger]

19. When we get more Dem Senators, it will be time to kick him to the curb.

He's scum, and I ashamed and disgusted that this asshole represents my great state.

[KaryninMiami]

20. Good- may he be a welcome guest at their convention and at every other GOP event.

Good riddance.

[gilpo]

21. This will complete his conversion to the "dark side"

SW's geeks will get it....

[underpants]

22. Bye, see ya Joe

:hi:

[Alter Ego]

24. Traitor to the nth degree.

Please, for the love of God, get rid of him the next time he comes up for election, Connecticut.

[Anarcho-Socialist]

25. Yes, please give McCain some Joementum

Anything to help the Democratic candidate in November!

I also wonder what those Democratic Senators are thinking now after they campaigned for Lieberman against Ned Lamont.
