He sure talks a good game when his political life is on the line.

And why would his pattern of lying about public policy positions change now?

Afterall, this is the man who claimed:

"No one wants to end the war in Iraq more than I do,"..."I have been very critical of a lot of the mistakes the Bush administration has made in Iraq."

Many more Lieber-lies below the fold

It goes without saying that as long as Governor Sanford tries to hold onto the Governorship these sort of details will continue. I for one hope he resigns to save both Maria, of the Republica de la India in the Palermo neighborhood of Argentina, her two sons, and Sanfords wife, and their four sons, the pain of watching details slowly drip out into the spotlight of the national media.

It's not that I enjoy quoting Joe Lieberman(clown-CT), especially being a CT resident, and If you look back at my diary history - like most of us - I have not been a fan of him for quite some time. Nonetheless, it is worth taking the time to diary the statment put out by Sen. Lieberman on the Iranian peoples struggle for competent representative government.

It was yesterday in the comment section of Setrak's Recommended Diary on Iran that I suggested this:

Not support, but [show] solidarity in having competent, representative govt'.

---------------------------

And to expand on that I'm not talking about interfering with what's going on over there but showing my solidarity, as a lone american millenial, to the iranian millenials who are being governed by an oppresive regime.

Nothing more then showing support from one human to another.

So it seemed somewhat fitting that my Senator, whether I wish he was my senator or not, released the statement that I'll be posting below the fold.

So let me include the obligatory 'this diary is not as good as it should be' statement here. It is rushed, since I just used my DVR for the first time to quickly type up a transcript of the interview.

Although I know these senseless acts of violence have existed for many years over the subject of abortion it is still quite confusing to me, as I am young, only 25, and have only been politically aware for 3 years now.

I was deeply moved by this interview and I felt that those who missed it needed to see the kind of pain that is caused from these dispicable attacks on our democracy, rule of law, freedom, and our values, such as the right of privacy.

Now for the interview...

I was going to write a diary about Obama's announcement on CAFE standards for tomorrow, but I noticed it was very thorougly diaried by MysticLaker.

So what I have here instead is a LiveBlog of the House Energy Committee markup found live on CSPAN-3.

And the diary name, "Death By Amendment(x450)" Comes from the 450 poison pill amendments republicans plan on offering to kill this important legislation.

It's tuesday and that means its time for the weekly conference call with the irascible Kentucky Senator, Jim Bunning.

This week Bunning decided to do his best Mother Cleo impression and read the tea leaves:

"Do you realize that under our dynamic leadership of our leader, we have gone from 55 and probably to 40 (Senate seats) in two election cycles, and if the tea leaves that I read are correct, we will wind up with about 36 after this election cycle.

So if leadership means anything, it means you don’t lose ... approximately 19 seats in three election cycles with good leadership."

More fun with your favorite disgruntled republican after the fold.

Well, I had to go see and document the teabag spectacular in all its nutty glory so here are my pics and video.

As I said in my comments over the past few days it just so happens that Long Wharf, New Haven, CT where the festivities were located is a known gay/straight prostitution meet up spot so these grounds are no stranger to tea bagging.

Louisville, KY FOX41 president and general manager Bill Lamb gives a stunning commentary about everyones favorite stick in the mud, Sen. Jim Bunning.

From Politco:

In his regular "Point of View" segment, which aired Tuesday, Lamb rips Bunning over a recent meeting the two-term senator had with some Kentucky broadcasters. While everyone else in the Kentucky congressional delegation made a good impression, apparently Bunning was not on his best behavior.

Sounds like Bunning is making friends, huh?

Yesterday on March 30th a CT legislative committee voted in favor of a bill that would update Connecticuts 2005 civil union law, which doesn't give same-sex couples equal status of married heterosexual couples.

Same-sex marriage has been legal in CT since last November when the state Supreme court concluded that same-sex couples have the right to wed in Connecticut.

More after the orange fold including what this bill would do.
