"Holy Joe" Lieberman Speaking At RNC

Not that this is the most shocking of news, but now we have it confirmed. Senator Joseph Lieberman (CT 4 Lieberman-CT) will speak on the first night of the RNC convention.

From TPM:

The McCain campaign confirms what we all have known for months would happen: Senator Joe Lieberman will speak at the GOP convention on the first night.

Maybe Lieberman will reiterate his claim that Obama has not always put his country first. It's awfully valuable to McCain and the GOP to have a so-called Democrat leading with such a smear, and there apparently is nothing Lieberman won't do for his new buds.

There's simply no chance whatsoever that Lieberman will have his plum committee slot come 2009, presuming he's still calling himself an "Independent Democrat" by then.

The Senator gets to share the stage that evening with the most prestigious tyrants warmongers Republicans, George Bush and Dick Cheney (29% and 18% approval ratings respectively). Like the traitors to their country that Bush and Cheney are, Lieberman is the Democratic Party's Benedict Arnold this time around and he's ready to flaunt it in Minneapolis one week from this coming Monday.

All I have to say is that the Democratic leadership better be ready to kick his old ass out of his chairman positions in the Senate the minute after he take the GOP stage.
