Lieberman loses Democratic primary, decides to run as Republican

The Friking White House has decided it is going to help Lieberman hold onto to his Senate Seats, agianst the wishes of the people, How do you like them apples America.

Joe Lieberman, moments after conceding defeat to Democratic challenger Ned Lamont in the Connecticut primaries, vowed to home-state voters that he would be back on the ballot, only for the other party. "Let's face it, Connecticut wants me to go back to Washington to represent them," the 2000 Vice Presidential candidate told reporters at a press conference Wednesday morning. "I mean, 51% of Democrats don't, but I guarantee that a lot of Republicans would love to see me there. Did you see where I stood on the Terri Schiavo case?"

The Lamont-Lieberman contest was marred with political dog-fighting, each side accusing the other of negative campaigning. According to the CNN news article, the Lieberman camp blamed the Lamont campaign and liberal bloggers for the disruption that took down the Lieberman website. The Connecticut Senator called it "Rovian tactics," a swipe at Karl Rove, President Bush's head campaign strategist known for dirty political tactics, and also Lieberman's new party ally.

As Democratic lawmakers rally around their new poster child for the anti-war left, Lamont, they have begun to alienate Lieberman, who believes he has a better shot tackling the general election straight from the right. "Throughout the campaign, Democrats labeled me as 'too close to the President', and hit me hard for voting for the War," Lieberman said. "I realized last night when I got my ass handed to me by Ned Lamont that, given my voting record, maybe I should just switch teams."

Lieberman later added, "Plus I think the perks of being on the Republican team are much better. You get paid vacations from corporations, get to make fun of Democrats for being soft on everything, you get to hang out with Bill O'Reilly, and all you have to trade for it is your morality."
