Joe Lieberman (WHOCARES-CT): Take another bong hit, Joe...
Finally, we wrap up with Senator Joe Lieberman who, while arguing for why things like finally helping Hurricane Katrina victims should not be part of the supplemental bill passed yesterday, seems to drift off to the same Fantasyland he visits with his Republican colleagues and the whole White House cabal.
"The bill has kind of grown like Topsy and has a lot of other stuff in it. Maybe I am reflecting on the fact that I am going to see my grandchildren soon. One of my favorite Dr. Seuss books is about Thidwick the moose," said Lieberman on the Senate floor, drifting into a dreamlike haze. "Thidwick is a glorious moose with large antlers. Various creatures in the forest begin to occupy, ultimately quite unjustifiably, Thidwick's antlers until they fall off. There are parts of this supplemental appropriations bill that in my opinion, respectfully, do not belong there."Next week, we expect Lieberman to chide Senate Democrats for picking on Bush and Cheney by invoking that thoughtful tome, Hop On Pop.
