Joe for Veep?

Oy....
I would like to remind Senator McCain that Al Gore once thought Joe Lieberman was the game-changer who would make the democrats competitive in Florida back in 2000...and look how that mishaugas turned out!
We won't even go into Joe's strange tendency to fawn over Dick Cheney in the vice presidential debate or his bizarre habit of smirking quietly and looking at his shoes.
Well let us face it, from a GOP perspective, Lieberman is a useful idiot ergo a good way to get democrats angry and perhaps peel off a few Jewish votes...nothing more.
He is being hyped lately simply to bug the liberals, a good part of modern conservative ideology revolves around annoying democrats let us not forget that. He may piss us off because he lovingly licks McCain's $500 loafers at every opportunity but politically Joe is a spent sideshow.
As for Lieberman himself, I think he believed (along with any number of big time pundits) circa 2002 that the two party system was about to come to end and his priority was simply to get in good with the winners in that struggle. This pretty much accounts for his groveling attitude towards the Bush White House, John McCain and pretty much any GOP lackey you can name. He may have also thought back in the day that he might play a prominent Marshal Petain-like role whatever puppet "loyal opposition" being set up at Fox News once the GOP had seized complete and total power.
All gone to smash now despite his re-election to the US Senate on a spurious independent ticket. No mah frenz, the GOP is gruesomely weird on matter's theological and political these days so if a flip-flopper like Mitt Romney isn't considered Veep Material then what hope has an outright political transvestite like Joe Lieberman?

Just sayin' if he couldn't deliver for Gore then he will never deliver for McCain...and then there is all that footage of Joe campaigning with Fritz Mondale and Mike Dukakis and Bill Clinton and Ted Kennedy and Al Gore and who knows maybe even John Kerry...might make an interesting viral video in the lead up to the GOP convention.
