LIEBERMAN, LONG LEADLESS, LOSES; LAMENTS LAMONT
Connecticut Senator Admits His Support of President's Plan to Annex Poland May Have Been His Undoing
Joe Lieberman, who vaulted to national attention as the Democratic Party's candidate for Vice President in 2000, lost that party's Senatorial primary August 8th in Connecticut. A major factor in the loss, said his doctor, was that Joe was suffering from a severe case of a malady clinically known as "Nojoementum".
However, the Senator told tens of loyal Connecticutians that, come fall, he will run as an "Independent Democrat." When asked if he just invented that term in order to justify running twice against his Democratic vanquisher, Ned Lamont, Mr. Lieberman said "absolutely not - I don't just make up terms for the hecque of it, pardon my French." When asked how he defines "Independent Democrat", he said that it's "someone whose beliefs are halfway between a 'Lieberal' and a 'Liebertarian' ".
Finally, Joe told the press that, if he loses as an Independent Lieberal-Liebertarian Democrat, he will join the Green Party and run under the name "Mean Joe Green".
