Informed Speculation

In John Kerry’s world, there is no room for dissent on Iraq, thus making him the political equivalent of Kos and Jane Hamsher. Just listen to the arrogant lightweight, who famously chewed out an aide for not bringing his favorite brush during the 2004 campaign, disparage Joe Lieberman, a man who is still the senior junior Democratic Senator from Connecticut last time I checked:

Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., blasted a fellow Democrat, Sen. Joe Lieberman, for continuing his bid in the Connecticut Senate race despite a narrow loss to newcomer Ned Lamont in the Democratic primary earlier this month.

“I’m concerned that [Lieberman] is making a Republican case,” Kerry told ABC News’ “This Week with George Stephanopoulos” in an exclusive appearance.

Kerry accused the 2000 Democratic vice presidential candidate of “adopting the rhetoric of Dick Cheney,” on the issue of Iraq.

“Joe Lieberman is out of step with the people of Connecticut,” Kerry added, insisting Lieberman’s stance on Iraq, “shows you just why he got in trouble with the Democrats there.”

Kerry called Lieberman’s independent bid a “huge mistake” and applauded businessman-turned-politician Lamont as “courageous” for challenging Lieberman on the war.

Of his own views on Iraq, Kerry stated forthrightly, “The course of this country in Iraq is making the world more dangerous.”

Tell me something, Mr. Jackass – er, I mean, Senator Kerry; if Joe Lieberman is so out of touch with the voters of Connecticut, why are you attacking him? His Independent candidacy doesn’t matter, right, since he’ll surely lose? Isn’t the Democratic Party big enough for dissent, or is it a Soviet-style home for apparatchiks now?

Of course, we know why Kerry feels threatened; the Lamont position is his own (at least when Lamont attempts to string a coherent thought together on the subject), and Lieberman’s independent bid is off to a strong start. John Kerry is a big, unfunny joke, and this sort of vitriolic attack on a fellow Democrat shows how grateful we can all be that this clown didn’t win in 2004…
