Hmmm ... Maybe He's Reading The Garlic?

Mini-Me may just end up having more time to pal around with Stumblin' Bumblin' John McCain in the days ahead.

Reid hints that Lieberman may be booted from committee chairmanship

Now Lieberman's position as chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee may be in danger, according to the subscription-only Capitol Hill newspaper Roll Call reports:

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) on Thursday left open the possibility that Sen. Joe Lieberman’s (Conn.) status as an influential chairman in the Democratic Conference may not be solid for the long term, even as he reiterated the Independent Democrat’s importance on key party priorities.

Reid’s mixed messages on Lieberman come one day after the Connecticut Senator launched public attacks on the Democrats’ newly anointed presidential hopeful, Sen. Barack Obama (Ill.). Lieberman has long backed the presumptive GOP presidential candidate Sen. John McCain (Ariz.), but took that support to a different level in attacking Obama this week.

And Obama, if Reid isn't going to take the necessary steps, wasn't going to let it ride;

Obama backs Lieberman against the wall (literally)

Obama, apparently, didn’t care for Lieberman’s comments, so much so that the Democratic presidential nominee confronted Lieberman directly on the Senate floor this afternoon. Subscription-only Roll Call reported:

[D]uring a Senate vote Wednesday, Obama dragged Lieberman by the hand to a far corner of the Senate chamber and engaged in what appeared to reporters in the gallery as an intense, three-minute conversation.

While it was unclear what the two were discussing, the body language suggested that Obama was trying to convince Lieberman of something and his stance appeared slightly intimidating.

Using forceful, but not angry, hand gestures, Obama literally backed up Lieberman against the wall, leaned in very close at times, and appeared to be trying to dominate the conversation, as the two talked over each other in a few instances.

Maybe, just maybe Harry Reid read The Garlic's latest Garlictorial - "Why Wait - Toss Lieberman Over To The GOP Now!"

Make the move, Harry! ... Make the move!

McCain's Mini-Me's Buddy Is At It Again

I was watching the Sunday News programs, and on one of them (I can't remember which one) there was a Republican hack attempting to make hay, tying Obama, making Obama responsible for the Trinity Church dust ups, with Reverend Wright and Father Pfleger.

The host offered back, what about Stumblin' Bumblin' John McCain and his Reverend John Hagee?

The Republican hack blew it off, saying something to the effect "You can't do much when someone's endorsement comes along ...", to which the host didn't challenge any further.

That certainly set off a bevy of Bullshit Meters!

As we all know, very well, Hagee's endorsement of SB John didn't just "come along".

McCain shopped around for a Bible-Thumpin' Jesus Freak and eventually settled on Hagee, standing by Hagee on the first handful of releases documenting Hagee's derangement, before finally throwing him overboard last week.

But Stumblin' Bumblin' John McCain's Mini-Me, Senator Joe Lieberman (R-I, CT) is still aboard the S.S. Hagee, as we noted in our "McCain's Mini-Me Hearts Hagee", that despite the hidious remarks that prompted SB John to flip-flop, Mini-Me Joe was still going ahead with plans to speak at a Hagee event.

Well, there, Party-Jumpin' Joe, what say you with this latest revelaton?

Pastor Hagee: The Antichrist Is Gay, "Partially Jewish, As Was Adolph Hitler" (Paging Joe Lieberman!)

On March 16, 2003, on the eve of the United States' invasion of Iraq, Pastor John Hagee took to the pulpit to warn of the coming Antichrist. In his sermon, "The Final Dictator," Hagee described the Antichrist as a seductive figure with "fierce features." He will be "a blasphemer and a homosexual," the pastor announced. Then, Hagee boomed, "There's a phrase in Scripture used solely to identify the Jewish people. It suggests that this man [the Antichrist] is at least going to be partially Jewish, as was Adolph Hitler, as was Karl Marx."

WOW!

You just can't make this stuff up ...

Can't wait to see the YouTube of Mini-Me speaking at that Hagee event ...
