Joe Lieberman seems pretty determined to keep his job as Senator from the Nutmeg State. (It is also the state that promises to be, as its tourism slogan states, “Full of Surprises.” But, if you’re not blown away by the surprises offered at the Mystic Seaport, well, there’s still always nutmeg.)

Lieberman was rather “feisty” and “aggressive” in his debate this evening with opponent Ned Lamont. It’s amazing how brutal and hardline he can be…when going up against a Democrat. He did seem ultimately compliant, however, when Lamont donned a pair of spectacles, uttered something about the promise of “clean coal technology” and then shot Lieberman in the face with a grouse rifle.

Joe promises that if he doesn’t secure the Democratic nomination for his senate seat, he will run as an Independent. And if he still loses then, he will ask some of Mr. Rove’s “Sore Loserman” placard-thugs to consider hopping aboard a bus so that they can  experience the therapeutic joys and visual wonders that are “Hartford in November.”
