Joe Lieberman (R-CT)

By Eric on June 18, 2008

Dear Democratic Leadership, can we pretty pretty please stop pretending that Joe Lieberman is a Democrat?

Joseph I. Lieberman ’s endorsement of presumed Republican presidential nominee John McCain was bound to cause him some uncomfortable moments this election year.

That dynamic came into play Tuesday, when Lieberman decided not to attend the Senate Democrats’ weekly policy luncheon because Barack Obama campaign strategist David Axelrod was addressing the caucus.

“It was my decision,” Lieberman said. “I thought it would be awkward for everybody.”
…
Majority Whip Richard J. Durbin of Illinois said he didn’t ask Lieberman to stay away. A spokesman for Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada said he didn’t know why Lieberman didn’t attend.

It has been clear for a while that Joe Lieberman lied when he said he wanted to elect a Democratic president, but now he may have even lied when he said he would caucus with the Democrats. I mean, it’s difficult to be a Democrat when you can’t go the Democratic caucus meetings because you’re too busy bashing the Democratic candidate. The AP says it best:

Joe Lieberman is fast ^[?]

So can we just cut the bullshit and call Holy Joe a Republican now?
