Connecticut Puts The Nuts In Nutmeg
If there is one thing the primary battle between Ned Lamont and Sen Joe Lieberman in Connecticut shows is that there are many, many Democrats in that state that have the I.Q. of lettuce.
Joe Lieberman was the charismatic half of the famed Gore-Lieberman ticket. Since that time, Al Gore has: grown a beard, shaved it off, and starred in a movie called, "An Inconvient Truth" (working title: "We All Are Going To Die"). On the other hand, Lieberman has continued to serve in the Senate, where collegues from both sides of the aisle comment on how much he sounds like a Hanna-Barbara cartoon character when he talks (my vote: Snagglepuss).
One thing Lieberman has done is support the war in Iraq, which, if you know anything about the Left in this country is as popular with them as Mel Gibson at a synagoue.
And not only that,Lieberman does something that is relatively uncommon in today's politics. He respectively disagrees.
In today's politics, you just cannot disagree. You have to stand up and shout, stomp your feet, and accuse the person of the other side as being a total Nazi doofus.
Well, despite a voting record that is to the left of Michael Moore, Lieberman drew opposition from Ned Lamont, who in true Democrat party fashion, is a rich person that cares about poor people, even those that cannot join his country club.
You would think Lieberman, with all of this national experience would be able to flick Lamont away, but Lamont is leading all of the polls despite a performance in a debate which showed Lamont went to the Dan Qualye School Of Debate.
It has gotten so bad for Lieberman that he had to call in the big guns. In the Democratic party that means: The Clintons.
Way back when, when there no current wars on TV, Saddam was in Iraq and all was right in the world, Former President Bill got in trouble for having whatever he thought he was having with a young intern who turned out to be big boned as well. We did not hear alot of Jihads back then. We did hear a lot about Former President Bill's, um, habits, which mind you, are not anybody's business except his, Former First Lady Sen.Clinton, and whoever he might have been not having his defination of sex with.
Lieberman got on the floor of the Senate and said, now get this, this type of behavior is wrong.
That's water under the bridge now. Of course at the rally Former President Bill spoke at, he spent a good 15 minutes talking about himself and the new Mazda he just bought.
However, things have gotten so bad for Lieberman that Chris Matthews paused long enough from interrupting whoever he was supposed to be interviewing to urge Connecticut Democratic voters to make this vote a referendum on the war. Oddly enough, Matthews then began pining for a Presidential canidate that has a philosophy, knows history, and reads books. What's odd about that is that this describes Newt Gingrich.
But let's leave the implications of Connecticut's primary and go to a fun election, the 4th district in Georgia which featured Cynthia McKinney vs Hank Johnson, Jr.
Ms. McKinney is a serious member of House Of Representatives if serious is defined as crazy as a betsy bug. She's been in the House on and off for 12 years now and her two major contributions have been: Naming a post office and Creating great comedic moments like punching policemen because they are either: a) White and therefore racists; b) stupid for not recognizing her dispite the fact that she changes her hairstyle every 45 minutes with the intent of finding the funniest style and sticking with it. Ms. McKinney did not invent the race card, but boy she has perfected it.
Her opponent, Hank Johnson,Jr ran on the platform: I Am Not Cynthia McKinney. This was enough to defeat McKinney despite the fact Mr. Johnson is probably is slowest speaking person in the state of Georgia.
In a local Cobb County race, Rev.Dr. John Crooks won the Republican nomination for post six of the Cobb County school board despite fears that he, by himself, would tear down the wall of seperation between church and state and the endorsement of Alan's Alley.
