Because He Can

Can Joe Lieberman be even more of an asshole than I thought he was? I honestly did not think that my opinion of him could go any lower than it already was, but damnit, today it went frigging subterranean. He finally acknowleged that the real reason he opposes meaningful healthcare reform is because he hates liberals. He admitted that he's opposing the Medicare buy-in because liberals such as Rep. Anthony Weiner (D, NY) like it too much. I guess that what I've been reading in the blogs is absolutely right: progressives (read 'liberals') should have fought to the death for a single payer system, so the centrist compromise would actually have been the public option/Medicare buy-in or some other form of REAL reform, instead of the bullshit we're going to end up with. What an absolute prick Lieberman is, & the fact that the cowardly Democrats are letting him get away with this shit is simply indefensible. Like a spoiled child, he's doing it BECAUSE HE CAN. And he's frigging getting away with it. That's way beyond sad, holding the whole country hostage to this fucking egomaniac. I honest to God hope he rots in hell for all eternity. He deserves it, if anybody ever did.
