Bush Won’t Endorse the GOP Candidate From CT

President George W. Bush says he won’t endorse Connecticut’s Republican Candidate Alan Schlesinger over Joe Lieberman. And the Republican National Committee Chairman Ken Mehlman says he won’t endorse Schlesinger either. Now isn’t that a fine how-do-you-do! The GOP President of the United States and the voice of the Republican National Committee have made a pact to shun the Republican candidate in the Connecticut race for Senator in favor of Democrat weasel Joe Lieberman. And Lieberman wants to be Senator so much he’s going to run as an Independent and has promised the White House to bend over and do whatever the White House wants him to do, however the White House wants him to do it, and at any time of the day or night the White House beacons or calls. Lieberman should get a PAID IN FULL tattoo on his forehead. The gamble the Repubs are making is that Lieberman will either be the winner in the November election or that he will be a spoiler and the Repub candidate will win. In either of these GOP scenarios, the Bush administration gets a Republican Senator. At what point will Lieberman realize he’s been used? When will he notice that nothing, not even a $5 bill, has been left on his night table? Will it be when he grasps that the Bush administration is not actively campaigning for him? Will it be when he sees that the Bush administration has no intention of doing any favors for Connecticut? Will it be when the Bush administration tells Lieberman exactly what he is expected to do for that Paid In Full receipt? Most likely, it will be none of the above and that Lieberman will fully understand his plight when Connecticut voters show they prefer Democrat candidate Ned Lamont to Republicans from any political party.

Sometimes, the people in office amaze me with their complete lack of awareness of what is going on. Leiberman has consistently been one of those. For example, he had no chance, overall, of capturing the Democratic nomination for President in 2004. However, he just refused to look at the facts. He had an upsurge in the beginning because of his previous association with Gore, then people got to know the other candidates. He went from state to state coming in, at best, 4th, and still plugged on, claiming that he would push a wave of "Joementum" through the voters who were much more impressed with the original message of Dean or the fresh face of Edwards. Now, he's clearly been defeated, he really doesn't have a chance to win, and he's going to run as an Independent.
Talk about a guy who, after all these years after high school, is still desperate to be voted "Most Likely to Succeed."
