The Senate was due to debate health care reform this weekend, but a huge snow storm is predicted. And where is Joe Lieberman? Why, despite the weather reports, he went home for the Sabbath. Now, I am respectful of people's religions, but surely there is a congregation in DC. I remember when he ran for VP, he said for important legislation Senate sessions on Saturday would not be a problem. But he isn't exactly someone who remembers or cares about what he says from one minute to the next. The ever brilliant Stephan Colbert noted that on one of the Sunday Gas Bag shows, he said he didn't know what was in the bill about Medicare extension, but he was against. Colbert said, "It takes real courage to oppose a bill when you don't know what's in it." After showing a clip from and interview with the Connecticut Post in September, where Lieberman stated his support for the idea, Colbert said that he was going from Joementum to Joementia, but Joe would be OK because as a sixty five year old, he was eligible for Medicare. It might be a fine time to go and harass him at home, but I think he is so pig headed that it would further his desire to thwart any kind of progress. After all, he decided to oppose the extension of Medicare because liberals like Anthony Weiner liked the idea, so he knew it was bad. What kind of a joke of a human being is he? Gail Collins had a good piece in the NYT, which mentioned that maybe he is really not bright. At least his press is beginning to sour. CBS pointed out that he approved the extension of Medicare benefits a few weeks ago. The Advocate had an editorial asking him to explain himself to the voters of Connecticut, but as a party of one, he feels he owes no one an explanation, but too little too late.
