Pardon? (4.00 / 1)

I never spell it wrong - LIEberman.

Maybe Bush will pardon him.

I can't.

Shelly Sindland (4.00 / 1)

As enamored as she was of getting a local exclusive with Lieberman (Eat your heart out Davis! , she might be surprised to hear her interview made it onto national cable news last night. Though she did predict one thing:

I promise there will be at least one great YouTube moment on this week's "The Real Story"! You'll just have to watch to see!

Perhaps next time she won't drop the ball and have a video clip at the ready to show Lieberman lying.

Here's her blog post about the event.

Feel free to comment or contact the show directly.

Jepsen and Amann (0.00 / 0)

Thanks for that link, Scarce.

First, that Amann said he'd have stripped him of his committees(oh, someone remind me, is he running for governor?? And, um, what would you have done if you were in Congress during the votes about the Iraq War?  Since that is another popular place to conjecture to curry voter favor).  He may be completely sincere, but if he is, then I truly question his abilities of perception.  He just may be one of those politicians for whom loyalty to The Family trumps adhering to some sort of institutional principles and behavior.  You can call it conscience if you want, but I won't.  It's more a selectively applied "conscience".

And, something I trust more, this quote:

Former State Party Chairman George Jepsen (who went to bat for Lamont, no pun intended ) says Lieberman is doing what he always does-trying to have it both ways. Jepsen says Lieberman deserves to be censured.

Pathological Liar (4.00 / 1)

The thing that protects pathological liars from themselves is a built-in denial mechanism.  They either fully believe what they're saying, or they deny it to themselves sufficiently to be able to carry on normal daily activities.

If Joe Lieberman ever experiences a true moment of clarity about himself, he'll likely suffer a complete mental collapse.  

I can only hope he'll get the psychological help he desperately needs when it happens.

psychologists can't help Joe (0.00 / 0)

His mind is too greasy and slippery, and I don't think  he'd be the least bit interested.  It would require a Sisyphean effort to deal with the duplicity imho.  Seems to me that honesty is a helpful component of therapy, or pockets of honest dishonesty that is part of the what's wrong and can be identified.  But if your psychological makeup systemically is based on lying and misrepresenting, it would seem that a basic building block for even doing therapy is a bit ....missing????  Garbage in garbage out.  where to begin??

There must be somebody who specializes in pathological lying.  Wanna bet it would be a decades-long treatment?
