Graphics love to the always exceptional Darkblack.
It's an odd morning in Connecticut. Rumor has it that Joe Lieberman may be cancelling some events today (or not -- he may be filming it on the bus) to film a new campaign ad -- which is said to be a mea culpa on his support for George Bush and the Iraq War. So much for this gem:
It is time for Democrats who distrust President Bush to acknowledge that he will be Commander-in-Chief for three more critical years, and that in matters of war, we undermine Presidential credibility at our nation’s peril.
Guess that whole STFU to Democrats isn't operative for Joey "Save My Bacon" Campaigner any longer. Funny how that happens, isn't it? I suppose it's better late than never, but why only listen to your constituents 6 days from the primary? Guess that whole "nation's peril" theory isn't so compelling when you are looking at a potential voter pink slip, eh?
The Kiss Float is following the Bus to Nowhere this morning, and the word from the Connecticut bloggers is that Joe is currently on the bus and making his campaign stops.
Jane is on her way to the WalMart Rally -- at which both Ned Lamont and Joe Lieberman are supposed to appear. (See yesterday's article on the cozy donor relationship between Lieberman and the WalMart heirs this election cycle. Hypocrisy, much?) She just phoned to say that she will update all of us when she gets confirmation on any of the rumors.
Things are flying fast and furious today -- so hold onto your hats. Let's play a game of "Where's HoJo Now?"
...Oh, and FYI, Jane just phoned to tell me that the Lieberman Bus to Nowhere is going close to 90 MPH racing into Bridgeport. Could they be trying to lose the Kiss Float? And how pathetic, if so?!?
UPDATE: Jane just phoned in an update. She has checked with her sources on the "Joe is cancelling events" rumor -- and they have discovered (independently of one another, btw) that the Lieberman campaign staffers lied to two of three journalists that Jane checked with -- telling them directly that Sen. Lieberman was cancelling events today, when he is not. He IS at the WalMart rally. (Maybe they were hoping the Kiss Float wouldn't show up at the rally, if people knew and/or reported on the fact that Joe was, indeed, going? Who is that afraid of a couple of paper mache heads on a truck, I ask you?!?) Other sources, as well, were hearing conflicting information from Lieberman staffers on events today. Deliberate? You be the judge...
UPDATE #2 (12:29 pm ET): Jane just phoned from the WalMart rally. Sources are telling her that Little Jimmy Olson, Cub Labor Leader, is responsible for Lieberman's appearance at today's WalMart rally. Seeing how Little Jimmy Olson planned the whole thing and all, it seems that he got his knickers in a snit when Lieberman decided to stay home and work on his new ad campaign. Word has it that Olson got on the phone with Lieberman directly and told him to "get his ass down here NOW" -- and since the AFL-CIO has only endorsed Lieberman until the primary, Joe came hopping like a scared rabbit.
Also, Joe bought and paid for his "cheering section" today. Lots of youthful Lieberman sign-holders who cheered on command for Joe's speech. Seems they were instructed to either "Boo" or just talk loudly during Ned Lamont's speech. How very Rovian of them -- straight out of the Republican play book. So much for that moral high ground, eh Holy Joe? Matt Stoller of MyDD also tells me that the telling falsehoods to certain reporters by the Lieberman camp may have been an attempt of their to mislead reporters that they don't like. Oh, I see, selective lying. ...more news as I get it.

I so hope those contribution records of WalMart cash to Lieberman this spring get wide circulation at the anti-WalMart Rally …
HoJo and WalMart, sitting a tree!!!
HoJo and K-Street, BFF!!!
HoJo and Dubya, umm, er, — let’s not go there . . .
Is the bus leaving a yellow stain behind it for Captain Queeg Lieberman?
Old Yellowstain?
Last time I heard him speak, his whole reason for the “undermine Presidential credibility at our nation’s peril” speech was to get action on a bill supposedly benefiting CT & progressives. (don’t remember which bill - no bill is worth that quote)
When Dems have to drink the koolaid in order to deliver anything for their state, the fed govt is in a sad state.
Time to kick the bums out of office, and replace them with “organic” people. By that I mean people who say what they believe, believe what they say, and fight for what’s right and true.
90 MPH? Where in the good old USA is THAT legal?
My! they drive fast in Connecticut. Recall Jane was dinged for speeding in her first Paul Bass column appearance, but she told us she was only keeping up with the head Nutmegger in the caravan.
be safe, all y’all!
Christy, I loved your prosecutor vs. DUI-lady story, and was reminded of a friend’s recent misadventure in Calgary, Canada, where he was a passenger in a car smacked by a truck after it was pushed into an intersection by a 17-year-old drunk driver. The DUI will have her privileges revoked for 25 years, her parents’ house and its contents will be auctioned to pay the medical bills of all who were hurt — none fatally! Our Canadian neighbors don’t risk this “five-time DUI conviction” madness we have in the USA.
One strike, if folks are injured, and a drunk is off the road, practically for good.
And we can’t do that here, why?
Is JoeLie for real? What would such a repudiation of his past Iraq performance be supposed to mean other than a quick fix to try to win support for the primary? Once back in office it would be business as usual. Anyone that would accept such a statement at face value (assuming that he would actually say such a thing) would be like the Senators who were “mislead” by Roberts and Alito.
Do not pass Joe. Do not collect $200 from WalMart.
Helairous! Thanks for the visual of the Liberman bus trying to lose the Kiss Float!
LMAO!!! Thanks Jane!
I hope he does make that ad.
When he runs as an independent, hopefully that will make him lose some of his Republican votes.
This piece about courting the minority vote and Joe’s racist flyer was posted on the nbc.30 website yesterday. I’m gonna go out on a limb and say that my back-and-forth emails with the staff person from nbc.30 on Monday afternoon had something to do with it…
good work, shoephone!
yea, shoephone!!!
yay, shoephone, way to get the message into the right hands! You worked that one hard, and it paid off.
… eagerly awaiting *ilson’s report on Falcon VideoPac 46201: The Cute MailMan!
Didn’t some Lieber-youth trolls complain bitterly about the lawbreaking of Jane Hamsher.
I remmeber starting the “I am Spartacus” with the admission that I too have sped on highways in many states….
Buttwipes!
I know I can’t take full credit for it - that would be completely silly. But the woman I was emailing with was really pressing for info on the flyer. I think it was *ilson and/or Teddy SF who provided me with the link to the pdf. of the flyer, which I sent her, along with a link to Maura’s webpage.
*ilson and Teddy SF - I raise my glass to you!
This firepup gumshoe-ing is a group effort.
Wow, TSF, those Albertans don’t MESS with DUI, do they? That’s a breath-taking story!
shoey, I nominate you FDL Heroine of the Day!
Isn’t it too late for Joe to be making such a huge admission of his shakiness on Iraq?
He would only look more like a loser, and his republican friends who were going to vote for him are going to abandon him in droves.
Flip-flip Joe.
Gee, I hope that HoJo’s bus doesn’t encounter a couple of cars going the speed limit next time. That’d really slow him down. Encountering a couple of state troopers also would put a real bummer on your campaign trip.
Question for the lawyers at Fire, Dog, Lake, and Associates: Can you pay a speeding ticket for your campaign bus out of campaign funds? Alternatively, can you get a K-Street lobbyist to pay for it? There’s a bus driver in the diner across from Wal-Mart that really wants to know . . .
“to film a new campaign ad — which is said to be a mea culpa on his support for George Bush and the Iraq War.”
If true, I guess that means Joe’ll be getting a call from Karl soon:
“Joe, you go ahead and make that little campaign ad if you think it’ll keep you in office but just so we’re clear, you’d better not fuck with me or you’ll have bigger problems than Ned fucking Lamont.”
(blushing)
Okay, I have to go to work and inhale paint fumes now.
Credit where credit is due, shoephone, because we can absolutely infer the null hypothesis: had you not acted, nothing would be on their website!
The step-by-steps would be an excellent ROOTS Project how-to story, documented so that others could follow your spectacular example. Please consider taking a moment to writing down how it all worked, and your terrific results….

Had Enough?

The likelihood of the Lieberbus getting a ticket is zero. The chance of Lieber-friendly cops pulling over the kiss float — very high.
Although what good publicity THAT would engender….
Is Lieberman channeling Nixon? Let’s hope it’s an indication that he’s also on his way out.
EPU
Ok Kiddo - yes! We get our television news from Springfield, MO and they have had a bit more rain than we have this year. Late May looked like mid August this year. Lakes and rivers are very low. I am losing a lot of old lilac etc. Wisteria is taking advantage of this situation somehow. Must be related to kudzu.
shoephone - Way to e-race that horrible joe-smudge off on his own home team shirt.)
A bus, 90 MPH, and no ticket, remind me not to drive in CT again, especially with my kids in the car.
Christy,
I missed my usual late night visit to FDL last night and, after reading the Blegging post just now, hit the PayPal button to help you team up with Jane in CT. Thank you for everything you do.
If I can add a postscript to your Heat Wave comments, let’s not forget the wildlife. We’re in drought mode in my part of Texas, so I’ve filled a small stock tank with water for our four-legged friends.
A bus…
Doing 90…
Jane should be calling the cops instead of Christy.
How hilarious would THAT be?
Lieberman getting pulled over and the publicity over it.
One last thought before I “get into some paint”. If Joe actually makes a mea culpa ad, I will send money to TRex to cover the cost of that firepups dinner he’s planning on cooking when he arrives in CT.
Bus on the run, what fun!
mmmmmm, kin I suggest timestamps/approximate times on the updates. Thanks.
Question: Did CTBob create the Kiss Float? It’s so fine!
it was so funny a couple of weeks ago seeing a LieberTroll trying to get some traction about
the President perjuring about a blowjobJane breaking the speed limit … what will we tell the children? The LieberYouth kept returning and getting more hysterical each time since nobody was buying his stories … poor child! By the end, he was accusing Jane’s reckless driving causing a bus full of nuns to overturn while on the way to a hospital for sick kittens…Flippity. Floppity. Floop.
Lieberman is really going to have a campaign commercial saying he was wrong to support the Iraq Occupation? That will completely undermine his “man of principle” stance, won’t it? What a desperate act, if true. Plus, by doing this, he’ll burn any real or imaginary bridges he has with the GOP.
Lieberman has the uncanny ability to always make the wrong choice. It’s stunning he ever became senator.
puppethead 36:
That’s going to be some crazy tap dance. Even during the debate last month he was staunchly supporting the war.
and Colbert was smacking hard on Joey Short-Bus last night.
so is he a chickenhawk or just chicken?
Flip Flop & FLY AWAY, JoHo!
Jenny from the Blog @ 34
I would love to see a Virginia equivalent, maybe a big cowboy boot with training wheels.
That kiss float is one for the annals. Good, good on everyone involved.
“Its 106 miles to Bridgeport, we have a full tank of gas, half a package of cigarettes, its dark, were wearing sunglasses….. HIT IT !”
The image of the bus followed by the Kiss Float conjures up memories of the parade at the end of The Blues Brothers.
Elwood!
Jake!
Ned!
Jane!
Short Ride needs to put that crack pipe down. He has now gone way beyond the groveling wimpering and straight into total psycho out. WATB. Oh Georgie, I don’t like your war anymore, ’cause I wanna be a Dem Dem now. See everybody, I wanna be like you, so please, pretty please, vote for moi. LIAR.
bill @ 40
Ooh, a kiss float roll-out! Create a franchise tailored to every state. I love that idea!
You know, I actually hope Short Ride makes that ad – because in about 10 minutes, Ned’s people can put together a piece of all of Joe’s comments, all of his supercilious and condescending remarks, and no one will have any doubt that whatever reversal or shift or change in his position on Iraq that he’s making, just 6 days before the primary, he’s doing it for votes. Talk about naked political ambition (although I probably should not link “naked” in any way with Lieberman - talk about a horror show!) - this is a tactic that will blow up in his face, but good.
Wouldn’t trust Lieberbaby any further than I could throw him - not now, and for sure not enough to send him back to the Senate so he could screw us over again…and again and again.
Another thought on shoephone’s excellent adventure in influencing the media.
The reporter might have found the story and reported it without shoephone’s intervention, but journalists luv having outsiders drop a thoroughly researched story in their laps.
You have to get the facts straight — but if you do it right, influencing the media can be done.
yea, shoephone!!!
Really! Flip. Flop. Mostly flop.
puppethead @ 36
There’s really something to be said for continuing to test our ideas, and our incumbents, in the primary forge. Clearly, RGJoe’s stayed in place through lack of Democratic imagination — and from the satisfaction the ruling class gets from him when the chips are down. A reliable supporter of Corporatism, with all the untested sheen of a progessive — a rabid wolf in lamb’s clothing, a marionette on Pharma strings.
A “kiss” ain’t just a kiss, despite that Casablanca movie. Sometimes it’s a goat-fuck, and we’re the goat!

Anne:
He’s got no core principles and yet he runs on a platform of absolute moral integrity. He’s got nuthin’.
I think we should get a half dozen more kiss floats and then Joe won’t even bother to schedule any events in the first place.
Cowboy boots with training wheels!!!!!! BWHAA!!!!!
Much to my surprise, in the last three days I’ve had conversations with five people, fellow CT residents, who I thought would be pro-Lamont but are most vehemently not. Their reasons run along the same lines: yes, the war was a mistake, but what is Lamont going to do about it? General feeling is that being anti-Lieberman is not enough. What does Lamont stand for?
Why doesn’t Joe have a Bio Diesel Bus? Unless of course it runs on hot air.
“Ooh, a kiss float roll-out! Create a franchise tailored to every state. I love that idea!”

elmake @ 52
A report from bizarro-world?
90 mph was pretty standard for I-95 when I lived in CT; I made all kinds of detours to avoid it but had a friend in Milford who I would ride with sometimes, my eyes shut and fingers crossed.
What -ck- said!
-ck- @ 46
And that part about the facts? Absolutely right, and put it in boldface italics, then have *ilson pretty it up with colors and blinking lights. When you’re fighting spin machines, the last thing you need is provide an opening for that label to be thrown at you.
Give the media the FEC contribution records.
Give the media transcripts from the Congressional Record.
Give them links to primary sources, video clips of speeches, and all the rest.
A good reporter doesn’t need to be spoon fed. They operate like Jane and Christy - when a reader comes across something tasty and passes it along, they love to take it and spread it around. They like good info, because it makes for good stories.
And if you become known as a trustworthy source of info and not a spin-meister, they might start coming to you with questions . . .
elmake at 52 — you know, he has a whole website with statements on what he is for on a wide range of issues — from education (which he learned about firsthand from his volunteer teaching for several years in an urban Birdgeport high school) to entrepreneurial actions we can take to support small business…and on and on. Maybe your friends should take a look at Ned’s website here and then e-mail the campaign if they have questions. You know, be proactive about their political involvement.
leetle tiny pink training wheels, where the spurs should be on the cowboy boots, and lots of FELIX everywhere on the anti-Allen float. Word is, he hates his own middle name, it being French and all….
So, elmake, I am sure you were able to convimnce him that he is a truly reasonable alternative? Right — Stands for health care (most recent ad) and less lobbying influence and education and privacy and right to dignity and keeping the government out of the bedroom and and and he is also ready to get the troops home from Iraq.
So, you were able to tell these “FIVE” people all this and they they said, “wow! I didn’t know that. Now I will vote for him.”
Right, Elamke? Good work!
“elmake” — are you getting $80/day like the imported NJ folk do or only $60/day like the CT folk that Joe is hiring?
bill at 9:16 am:
I would love to see a Virginia equivalent, maybe a big cowboy boot with training wheels.
That’d be great, if we can come up with a visual image that doesn’t require explanation. There’s so much wrong with Allen, but he hasn’t (to my knowledge) provided is with anything so iconic yet.
BTW, in Virginia, state legislators have immunity from traffic violations while the legislature is in session. (A friend of mine was a page some years back, and got to ride down to Richmond with his boss doing 95 or so.)
I think Lieberman’s campaign team must be looking to supercede multiple award recipient Bob Shrum, who currently holds the “Candidates Actually Paid Me Money for This” award for “Most Spectacularly Bad Campaign Management Ever” (not to be confused with the “Rats Leaving the Sinking Ship Award” which currently looks like it will be given to Katherine Harris, for “Most Campaign Management Changes Ever” *g*).
So far, there doesn’t seem to have been one good decision coming out of LieberCamp yet.
Redshift 63
How about a guy with his head up his own ass, holding a little boy’s cap gun and cowboy hat, wearing boots with training wheels?
A heads-up: Jonathan Alter will be on Al Franken’s Air America in a while to discuss why Lamont challending Lieberman is “a bad idea.”
Prolly more of the same nonsense as was in his much-linked and -derided article, but just thought y’all should know: same shit, but now with megaphone.
Joe bats a thousand, if you count foul balls.

Hey, shoephone, since you’re now a big media-relations cheese (*g*), you want to take a stab at getting the media to ask Joe if he’s going to return his campaign contributions from the Wal-Mart PAC and family?
Channel 30 News has this tidbit: The title sounds like a father chastising his son…with the son saying “pretty please love me again”.
It’ll be interesting to hear how strongly Franken challenges Alter. If he does at all.
I’ll believe a Joe mea culpa on Iraq when I see it with my own eyes. Holy (self-righteous) Joe ain’t the type to make apologies.
I do love the rumors about it!
If it is true, it sure shows that Joe’s own polling numbers are not looking good.
I did a little searching and caught this from digby:
(http://digbysblog.blogspot.com/2006_08_01_digbysblog_archive.html#115447055097502883)
“Since for the first time in recent memory Joe Lieberman has gone silent on foreign policy it falls to intrepid blogofascists like myself to seek guidance about his thoughts from other sources. One place to look are the think tanks and policy organizations to which Joe belongs.
Here’s one called The Committee on the Present Danger. “What?” you say, “that group of rightwing fanatics from the 50’s and 70’s who agitated against detente and wrongly claimed that the Russians were on the verge of killing us all in our beds any day?” Well, not exactly. This is the new CPD, revived after 9/11 to find and replace the word “communist” with “terrorist” in all the wingnut demagoguery manuals.
Joe, along with Republicans Jon Kyl, George Schultz and James Woolsey is on the board of directors. (Woolsey likes to pretend he’s a Democrat but if he’s a Democrat I’m Angelina Jolie’s baby.) There are many other important luminaries involved with this group, such as Laurie Myelroie, the highly influential neocon nutball who hallucinated that Saddam Hussein was responsible for everything from the first World Trade Center bombing to male pattern baldness. There’s Ken “Cakewalk” Adelman, Newtie Gingrich and Victor Dave Hanson, who thinks the world is just one big Hollywood movie set. The list is very long. Here — read it and weep.
There are no voices of sanity, of course, nobody who was right about Iraq or who has even the slightest bit of pragmatic realism about the threat of terrorism. They would not want to break their unbroken record — after all, neocons have always been wrong about everything.
But Joe is not just a member, as I mentioned — he’s on the board of directors. He’s a honcho, the lone elected Democrat. So, I think it’s fair to assume that since he has placed his vaunted reputation so prominently on display for this group, he must sign off on their official statements.”
Joey can film all the commercials he wants but he’s way in too deep with the neocons now to pull out.
To be fair, Lieberman’s association with the CPD may be based on a sincere belief that Middle East stability and Israel’s protection will only be achieved through “neocon pacification” of the region.
But I get the feeling that all those guys (and gals) think that they’re living in some Tom Clancy novel and it’s the rest of us libruls who “just don’t get it.”
So, c’mon, Joe speak up-in what world do you live?
If Lieberman makes that flip-flop-on-the-war ad, wouldn’t that suggest he’s seen some recent bad polls?
Or am I just thinking wishfully?

From the quality of th epeople coming over here, I would guess a lower rate or a time share….
elmake i have found several ct folk like that also. there are still lots of folk in connecticut completely disconnected fromo what this race is all about. it borders on lazy, but it’s also true. i do hope you passed along neds website. there are lots of us in connecticut who would love to answer their question on “who is ned lamont”
My current favorite Alter quote:
“The revival of the romance of the antiwar left is a potential disaster for the Democrats.”
Since when is being against war “romantic?” Really? I don’t remember Viet Nam protests being “fun.” In those days you didn’t get a choice about whether you wanted to get arrested. You got your head bashed in if you didn’t get out of the way. Is that what he means by “romantic.”

LOL, that would capture it pretty well! I didn’t mean to shoot down your original idea; it might well work, and is worth a shot unless someone comes up with something better.
bookwoman @ 70
Lots of problems with this story, but let’s start with the first word
The man’s a Reverend.
Can he get that minimum level of respect accorded to him please, Channel 30?
Speaking of Holy Joe,
Jewish tradition says that lucky things come in multiples of 18.
See wikipedia entry on the hebrew letter Chai
Let’s thank Joe for his 18 years of service in the Senate…. a wonderful gift from the voters of Connecticut.
Al Franken loves Jonathan Alter, having him as a regular on the show. But Franken has really, really soured on Lieberman and is impressed with Lamont, so we’ll have to see what the interview is like.
AP article on Sharpton’s visit:
http://www.courant.com/news/po.....lines-home
“elmake” — www.WhoIsNedLamont.com works well — www.WhoIsJoeLieberman.com is cool too
Fascinating because I believe the number 18 is also considered good luck in the Hindu culture as well.
*ilson, everytime I link to those Lieberman sites you worked I crack up. It is a joke that, for me, never grows old.
I salute you, brother!
redshift,
you still thinking of coming to CT this weekend?
after the Rev. Sharpton refusal to endorse Holy Joe, the LieberTrolls will be doing some Tawanna Brawling …
Little HoJo Annie’s Bus Tour — Tomorrow, Tomorrow, Tomorrow!!! — is really a good idea, once you think about.
When the call comes from Unka Karl, Joe can just step outside and throw himself under the bus!!!
Teddy SF
Thanks for sticking up for the Reverend(s)!
Thanks for the image of the bus racing away from the ubiquitous papier-mache heads. I picture the tortoise and the hare or the tennis playing blancmange from Monty Python or the old SNL skit (cue theme from “Jaws”) “Who’s there? landshark.” (Guess you had to be there.)
More proof Marion is an idiot — she almost said Nedrenaline!!
WOW. I would like to here more about that phonecall, Reverend Al.
Details, please.
Well, I was in CT on Sunday at a family party.
I was hesitant to bring up politics, but was overwhelmed by the Pro-Ned sentiment. Not anti-Joe but PRO-NED.
I have never seen this particular group of people so energized behind anything political. Typical fence-sitters and contrarians not only knew the minutia of the race but were actively involved, including having ordered yard signs and confirming registration. The newbie’s comments above are suspect, as everywhere you go people seem to have embraced Ned. Old people, young people, Catholics, Jews, Hippie types and yuppies. For many reasons.
I’ve never seen anything like it. Only person I saw who was even considering Lieberman was my 88 yo grandpa, who was soft on his support and was pretty well converted by the end of the day.
I’d say out of 50-odd people, there were 30 solid Ned primary votes, and not one definite Joe vote. If my experiences are indicative - we will have a new Senator come Nov.!!!
I am returning Friday to volunteer through Tues. If anyone will be in town, love to meet ya. Email me Montauk190 at aol.
BTW, this was Stamford, Lieberman’s home turf. I saw TWO Lieberman yard signs - both at the same house :)
Well, down here in Alabama there are signs beside the road with the number to call the State Highway Patrol if you observe dangerous drivers - something like say a bus going 90.
Just saying…
I’m going to go and try streaming Franken. Once again, a pleasure. Good day.
Son of Liberty –
Does the Alabama Highway Patrol take calls for out of state emergencies?
Yea ! urban pirate!

I just checked and Alter won’t be on till the last 1/2 hour of the show… I’ll probably miss the interview, darn.

Thnaks for the update. It seems like the Keystone Cops have taken over the Liarman campaign.
On the update — if Lieberman is in fact having his staff mislead the press, he will be punished appropriately by that very same press.
Man, Jane’s updates just get weirder by the minute. With tricksiness this sappy-amateurish, you’d think Joe’d be gunning for a first term on the Greenwich City Council, not a fourth in the U.S. Senate.
If — IF — this rumored ad actually shows up, it’s the very last stop he owns to pull out, isn’t it? With 6 more days of pleading still to fill, what’s he got left?
