CORPORATE WHORE HILLARY CLINTON COMES TO THE DEFENSE OF BUSH'S FAVORITE DEMOCRAT AND FELLOW CORPORATE WHORE, HOLY JOE LIEBERMAN

And just when we were all starting to feel almost warm and fuzzy about Hillary because of her courageous-- sorry, couldn't resist-- stand on net neutrality, here she comes and sends all the delegates to the Connecticut Democratic Convention a letter touting her allegience to fellow corporate-whore Joe Lieberman. The "You-have-nothing-to-fear-from-us-We're-just-like-the-Republicans" wing of the Democratic Party is rallying around Bush's favorite Democrat. The letter is sickening, just like the anti-worker/anti-consumer political games these two vile triangulators play.

I found it funny that she talks about how she and Joe worked together on so many issues-- first responders, children's health care, cleaning up Long Island Sound... but not a word about censoring music and films nor a word about flag burning amendments. Aren't Hillary and Joe proud of those things too? I mean when you think of Joe Lieberman what comes to mind? How he undermined Democratic efforts to stop Alito? How he spearheaded the right-wing attack on popular culture and free speech? How much money Big Business always stuffs up his ass in return for his pro-corporate voting record? How much worse he is even than Bush on pushing war in the Middle East? How he revels in undercutting progressives by attacking real Democrats on Fox "News?" There are so many, many things Hillary Clinton forgot to mention.


5PM UPDATE: LAMONT WILL EASILY HIT THE 15% MAGIC NUMBER

I knew the PC thing for progressive bloggers was to downplay Lamont's chances as much as the Lieberwhore forces were trying to inflate them. But I couldn't resist predicting that Lamont would win the 15% Lieberwhore was so, so, so desperate to keep him from. Lieberwhore failed. Counting is going on right now and Matt at My DD is blogging live from the convention and feeding us all the great blow by blow. It looks like Lamont will go quite a bit over 15%, even with the notoriously vindictive and vicious Lieberwhore pulling every trick out of his vile playbook. The last report from Matt showed only 599 votes counted out of 1607 and Lamont already had 200 of the 599. (He needs a total of 241.) LOL!

After swearing to Harry Reid and Chuck Schumer that he wouldn't run as an Independent if Lamont beats him in the primary, Lieberman is still threatening to do just that. (A real Democrat, Lamont has already pledged to support Lieberman if Lieberman wins the primary.)


5:30PM UPDATE: LAMONT OVER THE TOP

Tim Tagaris is also blogging live from the Democratic Convention and he just released the last count, giving Lamont over 500 votes, considerably more than the 241 he needed to get on the primary ballot. Lieberman must be plotzing! Everyone knew Connecticut delegates wanted Lamont to win but no one thought they'd find the guts to stand up and oppose Lieberman, who never forgets and never forgives.
