…so writes a commenter below, and s/he is right!

The unfortunate senator from Connecticut continues to demonstrate that he may be the worst person in the world, this time by announcing that he may filibuster the Senate’s health care bill if it contains a public option.

He says it’s because this would make the bill too expensive, but anyone who knows Lieberman knows better: The reason Lieberman would filibuster such crucial legislation is that then the entire cognizant American public would have to listen to the sound of him gassing on, and nothing makes Joe Lieberman happier than forcing others to acknowledge his own self-importance.

Lieberman is an embarrassment and a disgrace to my home state.
