Happy Joe
Posted by Shadi Hamid

Happy Joe, indeed. I was in Italy, of all places. Yesterday, in between the Sistine Chapel and some damn good pizza, I flipped on the TV in my hotel room to CNN International. Wow, I thought, there's Joe. More to my surprise, however, I saw him smiling - beaming, actually - and then pumping his fist to spirited cheers from what appeared an excitable audience. Look at that, I thought, Lieberman beats out Lamont after all, despite trailing in most recent polls. Then I glanced down to the bottom of the screen and saw the headline: Lieberman loses to Lamont (or something like that). For a second - and not more - I was confused. Then a moment of clarity. That does make sense.

I have never seen someone so happy to lose a Democratic party primary.

"I have never seen someone so happy to lose a Democratic party primary." Ouch. That line may be Lieberman's political epitaph.

It's embarrassing that Lieberman is unable to distinguish anymore between very partisan Republican right wingers who clearly are dominating Washington and the few classic conservatives remaining who at least live in the same universe the rest of us live in and have ethics we can respect. Lieberman has failed to open his eyes for a very long time.

He's not a bad man, but I hope he has the wisdom to step aside and accept the clear verdict of the voters. It's time for the Democrats to move on.

China printing has a very long history!

Perhaps when you went to some place far away Sohbet you must borrow it from friends you can get everything you want in this game Chat money to invest in other industry which will return you good profit. Sohbet when you look at Chat
the surface of the watches viaload great any cool Exsohbet from the city you live in and thought you knew nobody there Egitim Fourth, there were various signs of political conflict among shia. If they split 3 ways or 4 ways, the sunnis and the kurds could often be the Sohbet swing votes in the politics. If they felt they had political clout out of proportion to their numbers, they could settle in Sohbet and do politics and not feel oppressed.

It is such an important topic and ignored by so many, even professionals! I do enjoy writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are lost simply just trying to figure out how to begin
