DOES CONNECTICUT HAVE A RECALL STATUTE? MAYBE THEY NEED TO RECONSIDER... FAST. WHAT'S THE WORST THAT COULD HAPPEN?

John Amato has the clip up on Crooks & Liars of Holy Joe making it crystal clear of exactly where he stands in terms of war in Iraq-- and how he feels about mere citizens of this country having an opinion on the matter. You might want to give it a watch before you read the Rolling Stone story, Lieberman On Surge: What's "The Worst That Could Happen"?

After Lieberman was denied the Democratic renomination for Senate, he swore up and down the state of Connecticut that he had learned his lesson and that he was now an anti-war candidate. Apparently, between the Republicans who understand a wink and a nod and the low information voters who don't, he was re-elected... for another 6 year term. He promptly showed his fangs and made it clear that he would never be happy until the Middle east was awash in blood-- babies' blood, women's blood, Iraqi blood, American blood, Iranian blood, Israeli blood, Palestinian blood, Syrian blood... Joe Lieberman only wants one thing: wave after wave after wave of blood and gore. Joe Lieberman, as you will see from the clip, is a psychopathic maniac.

In words that should trouble any Democrats counting Lieberman in their camp, Lieberman was praising Bush as a "great leader" for bucking American opinion, as expressed in the 2006 election, in his determination to double down in Iraq. Lieberman then said something incredible:
Even those opposed to the surge, he said, "ought to at least let us try it."

"The worst that could happen," he continued, is that this policy could become another partisan flashpoint in Washington.

What is wrong with this man? Is he so seriously deranged, so terminally stuck inside the Beltway bubble that he has lost his last mooring to humanity? Is it possible that he either in not cognizant or not able to imagine that the worst that could happen is that thousands more men and women lose their lives? That thousands of American and Iraqi families are destroyed? My blood boils when I hear a bubble-bound political hack like Lieberman spewing this kind of rot. There isn't enough suffering I could ever wish on him and his. But now all I wish is that the Connecticut legislature see if there is some way to initiate a recall election, simultaneous with a new election in that state for a U.S. Senator-- before it is too late. Every time Keith Olbermann names someone the Worst Person in the world, he should modify the title by adding "other than Joe Lieberman."
