Toxic Joe

I think I like that better than Boltin' Joe Lieberman.

Anyway, here's a great post on Lieberman's toxic effect on Susan Collin's campaign. If you haven't been following it, Lieberman has been stumping with/for the Republican Collins in Maine. Thus far, his involvement has brought in more money for Collins' opponent than for Collins.

Lieberman’s fundraiser for Collins brought together lots of K-Street prostitutes who love him for his consistent willingness to sell out his constituents’ most basic interests. Collins’ campaign claims that Lieberman helped her raise between $120,000 and $150,000. Between MoveOn and half a dozen blogs raising money for progressive Congressman Tom Allen, Lieberman’s efforts were not just countered, but turned upside down. Grassroots and netroots contributions to Tom Allen last week out-raised Lieberman and Collins by between $100,000 and $120,000.
I think we should offer a secret fund to send Joe to every competitive Republican state this next year. It would be a guaranteed landslide.

Is there any more pathetic figure than Joe Lieberman?
