One More Reason People from Vermont are Better Than the Rest of Us...

Thank you Vermont for being the first state to legalize same-sex marriage through the legislature. The lawmakers of Vermont overturned Governor Jim Douglas' veto. Vermont becomes the fourth state to legalize same-sex marriage, and the first to do so outside of the courts. I have chills.

States who have legalized same-sex marriage: Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Iowa.

And this is why Dems always think things blow...

My roomie said that if the dems couldn't win this after the Republicans handed it to us then we couldn't win anything.  I am likely to agree with her on some accounts.  G.W. is ridiculous to follow except that a number of people in this country are racists.  And by attributing Obama's win just to Bush's inadequacies attempts to diminish that he deserved the win through innovative campaigning and just being awe inspiring, did I mention he is Christ? (What the Conservative blogs get to do it!)

Naturally I digress...Lieberman gets to keep his seat on the Homeland Security Committee.  Call me fussy, but damn it I wanted some kind of payment.  I saw that little smug jack-ass on McCain's jet to Phoenix, and frankly it frustrated me.  I don't care who he voted for; I care that he said he would be scared if Obama were to become President.  Feeding into the fear tactic the GOP has been pushing down our throats for seven years.  However, even when we win I feel dejected.  Harry Reid claims he trusts Lieberman, well I'm glad someone does.  I still think we should send him home to Connecticut for the ass kicking he deserves from his constituency.  Hey Joe, forget you represent New England?

Oh Joe...

Yep, it was bound to happen soon or later, and it looks like it is going to be sooner.  Senator Joe Liberman will be having "the talk" with Senate Majority Leader, Harry Reid.  I can't help but agree with Wonkette; Liberman needs a good ass kicking from Obama and the state of Connecticut.  The entire time I wanted the election coverage on Tuesday night I was never as angry as I was then Liberman was on the McCain plane behind McCain (this includes the petty, ridiculous McCain/Palin followers who booed during McCain's speech).  I get that Liberman is an Independent, and I like the idea of a third party system.  However, those of us who supported Liberman during his Veep nomination in 2000 feel betrayed.  Technically the McCain/Palin campaign until the end was appealing to the conservative base...who support G.W.; you remember him Joe...the guy you ran against in 2000.  A swift ass kicking is in order, and it will be less painful from Obama than the state of Connecticut.
