Speaking of Holy Joe Lieberman, has any actual Democrat ever before used the intentionally repellent phrase "Democrat Party"?
>
We meant to make sure earlier, when we were talking about Holy Joe Lieberman's latest round of nose-thumbing at the gutless Democrats who allow him to poison their caucus that you've heard about this. In a repellent e-mail yesterday to "Fellow McCain Supporters," which by itself should have gotten his scawny ass kicked out of the Democratic caucus (Kos has the full text at the above link), the reptilian Holy Man actually included the sentence:
As you know, I caucus with the Democrats as a United States Senator and was the Democrat Party's nominee for Vice-President of the United States against President Bush and Vice President Cheney.
"Democrat Party" is, of course, the slippery locution devised by slimy Republicans to avoid having to refer to Democrats as "democratic." As far as I know, it has never, ever been used by an actual Democrat, as our Joe did here. This is, remember, the very same slimebag who pules, "I remain a Democrat for reasons of principle. I've been a lifelong Democrat, so I have no desire to leave the party."
Labels: Democrat (sic) Party, Lieberman

Robert Browning's poem, "The Lost Leader" is Fing prescient about ole Joe. Everytime a populist politician betrays his supporters the accusatory first two lines are applied like a branding iron:
"Just for a handful of silver he left us,
Just for a riband to stick in his coat-- . . .
Life's night begins: let him never come back to us!
There would be doubt, hesitation and pain,
Forced praise on our part--the glimmer of twilight,
Never glad confident morning again!"
The whole poem is like that. Was Browning screwed over by a faux populist like Joe? You bet! You can feel the pain and betrayal, as well as the exhortation to keep fighting without the rotter:
"He alone breaks from the van and the freemen,
--He alone sinks to the rear and the slaves!"
Man, talk about giving someone the artistic finger!
