Joe Lieberman, Revisted

By
I take back what I said earlier about Lieberman being a liar. It's not that cut-and-dry.

He's really just an opportunist; a parasite clinging onto whatever political party has the power.

Think about it: he went from 2000 Democratic VP candidate (in his opening speech, he said comparing himself to George W. Bush was like comparing a veternarian to a taxidermist) to Democratic Cheerleader for the Iraq Invasion/Occupation to Bush Apologist to Old School Democrat (during his election battle against Ned Lamont) to "Independent Democrat" to John McCain's BFF to his current incarnation: The Prodigal Joe.

If this was Hollywood, it would be a compelling story. But since this is (politics in) Washington D.C., it comes off being pathetic.

You can bet he's on a very short leash right now, because his main function will be to break fillibusters. I'd predict that the first time he fails to do so, his ass will be ousted from any position of power. They dont need him for a majority anymore, only for special occasions, which gives him less general power than before.

I think they (the Dems) are waiting on these last two Senate results. If they get them, Lieberman will be walking around the Senate Chamber with a fork protruding from his back.

Sadly, the Dems will continue to use the "we need a 60-seat majority" excuse until they actually get it.

For being DC Comic's most recognizable female character, WW has been given the cinematic shaft for a long time. We've seen two incarnations of Lois Lane and countless Bat-groupies, but not one decent pitch for the Amazon in the big screen. And we're talking about a character who made armored underwear cool waaay before anyone heard of Princess Leia. So here's one humble man's suggestion for any future casting of the Wonder Woman movie. I really have three rules for casting: she has to be at least 5'10", under 45 and attractive enough to pass for a princess. Sandrine Holt - Age: 36, Height: 5'10", Relevant Movie/TV Roles: Resident Evil: Apocalypse & Mutant X Pros : She's played both a (doomed) reporter and a person with superpowers, so if she can play both, she's a shoe-in. Plus she's probably the least-known actress on this list, so they can two movies out of her cheap. Cons : While D.C. isn't as star-crazy as Marvel when it co

5 Actresses Who Deserve a Bigger Break

Being the avid movie watcher that I am, I've noticed that more than one talented actress has been passed over for other talent. And by "talent," I mean, "sex tapes that 'accidentally' made it to the Internet." Well, here's one man's humble attempt to rectify the situation. The following ladies are not only talented, but beautiful. Hollywood: get off your ass and give these women more roles. DANIELLE FISHEL Noticeable TV/Movie Appearances: Boy Meets World; both National Lampoon's Dorm Dazes The delightful Ms. Fishel has the distinction of having the weirdest named ever associated with a smart-yet-hot character (or maybe I'm the only one who has a problem saying "Topanga!" whilst in the throes of passion) as well as participating in the death of the National Lampoon Series (I personally thought it died with Chevy Chase's career; who knew?). If you were to use her IMBD page as a reference, the only real fault people seem to hav
