Dependable Erection

Context/subtext

No Republicans are going to vote for a health care reform bill. No Republicans in the Senate are going to vote to bring a bill to the floor for a vote. Democrats are going to own health care going into 2010.

Everybody knows this.

You'd think, then, that the Democratic leadership would realize that compromise, especially with the likes of Joe Lieberman and Blanche Lincoln, is going to be seen by most Americans as a sign of weakness, not strength. After all, if you can't stand up for what you believe in to Joe Lieberman, how are you going to stand up for America against Kim Jong Il?

  • I would pay higher taxes for a show on PBS that involves Joe Lieberman getting socked in the balls every 30 minutes of the day--it could be like a hybrid of a buffer for upcoming shows and a 21st-century version of the pillory.

  • You can't do that. Lieberman is now the most powerful Senator. And the funny thing is that the Dems did it to themselves by tossing him out of the party.
