HARTFORD, Conn. -- Connecticut Democrats are calling on Sen. Joe Lieberman to apologize to President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden for his comments criticizing them during the campaign.
. . .
It chastises the longtime Democrat, who won re-election in 2006 as an independent, for speaking at the Republican National Convention on behalf of Sen. John McCain.

What a bunch of 5 year olds.
Good God, the Dems are really gonna make Lieberman bend down and kiss Obama and Biden’s ass. Well, that’s the Democratic party for ya
Like an Apology is going to do .. ANYTHING???
Stand your ground Joe... even if you’re RIGHT!
To apologize for speaking critically? Is there a right to speak freely, or will there be government-imposed sanctions if you don’t apologize for doing so?
“You! Bow!”
Just typing that reminds me of ‘the Deer Hunter’.
Odd.
Hey, why don’t they make him put panties on his head and march around the Senate chamber naked singing At Last?
Lieberman should tell them to bugger off.
Joe should demand an apology for their criticisms of him.
pffft, whatever.
Damn and I thought I was going to be in the first re-education class.
I’m probably going to be in the 6th or 7th.
What the hell good is that?
I can’t write a book on being in the 7th re-education camp, who the hell would buy that?
I could probably swing a 2nd or 3rd, but not a 7th.
Damn, this is like the Beta-Max thing all over again!
IMO, they're fascists.
Does this mean Obama and Biden are going to apologize to Bush and Cheney?
Since Joe’s not a democrat, why should he take his marching orders from the state dem party? What have they done for him?
Dear Connecticut Democrats .......pack sand !
“IMO, they’re fascists.”
You’re damned right they are.
Never, ever, never, not once, no never, I mean never apologize for the truth.
THE AUDACITY OF TRUTH ABOUT BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA
BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA IN HIS OWN WORDS
I think Joe has already bent over for them and taken his ‘medicine’. What more are they looking for?
And yet he remains a Democrat.....
I thought Obama said he was listening to "especially" those who don't agree with him?
Wouldn't that make Lieberman even more valuable to his state?
(The answer, of course, is that they know Obama didn't mean that.)
Thought Police enforcers.
So much from Free Speech and Free Thinking in the state of Ned The Red Lamont and that pathetic bunch of Democratic pukes.
Hey Joe. Now you know how the Jews of the Warsaw Ghetto felt. They were killed just for being Jewish while you are being political killed for just having a mind of your own. At least they fought back. What about you?
Come on Joe - tell them to kiss your white behind and come over to our side.
Luv, Joe
“Lieberman’s appearance undermined the efforts of Democratic candidates”
Uh....THAT WAS THE WHOLE POINT!!!!!!!
WHAT PART OF “INDEPENDENT” DON’T YOU UNDERSTAND?
Flanked by two People’s Domestic Security guards on a government flatbed truck, Sen. Joe Lieberman was asked to apologize to President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden for his comments criticizing them during the campaign . . . .
Liberals are whiney babies; tantrum-prone teenagers; sore losers; and little girls all wrapped up into one annoying (but dangerous) group.
I guess dissent is no longer the highest form of patriotism.
But they laud McCain for betraying his party in word and deed. No apology necessary to President Bush, he’s taking a “principled stand”.
Are we asking Colin Powell to apologize for having the audacity to lie to all of us about weapons of mass destruction in front of the UN and then having the gall to blame his screw ups on McCain/Palin?
Maybe we should.
Lieberman was rejected by Connecticut Democrats and ran as an Independent. He has no allegiance to his state Democrats.
That said, this smacks of "kiss the Ring."
-PJ
This is the Democrats’ version of unity - no dissent.
Lieberman should go in front of the microphones live and start reading a written apology: “I regret that I criticized Obama and I would like to take this opportunity...take this opportunity...I can’t make out Rahm’s handwriting here...”
LOL! Why the heck would Lieberman give a hoot what the Connecticut Dems say anyhow? He’s got a lot of years left in office as it is, and most likely will retire at the end of his term in office. I’d give them the proverbial Obama middle finger and ignore them completely.
Takes me back to when my kids were preschoolers.
“Im telling.....He called me a stinky butt! “
“He is a stinky butt...he won’t stop looking at me!”
Hillary said far worse things about Obama during the campaign and now she’s gonna be the Sec. of State. Why should Lieberman have to grovel to them. It isn’t like he owes them anything. They ditched him and he won back his Senate seat w/out them. He should tell them to bug off.
“Bite me.”
Ve haff *vays* to make you coorperate, Herr Putz. Our vay or der ovens.
A nation children, run by children.
I’d prefer that old Joe Lieberman just turn Independent or Republican and let the left keep waiting for his apology. He has nothing to apologize FOR anyway!
The tabloids are already getting bored with the sugary coverage. The Globe has had front page stories about the COLB and his "unhappy marriage"
