You would think a guy who named his site after the result of Theodore Roosevelt's insurgent attack against the "establishment" would at least be able to see some irony in this limited circumstance.

But the Bullshit Moose is irony impaired.

By an overwhelming majority, Joe Lieberman is the officially endorsed candidate of the Connecticut Democratic Party. No matter how you spin it, if you are on the short end of 67 to 33 - you lose - unless if you live in the parallel universe of the netroots. It is there that Howard Dean is President of the United States. In that territory, Rodriguez defeated Cuellar back in Texas.

By some metaphysical piece of legerdemain the Bullshit Moose repeats what has become the accepted common wisdom of the last 25 plus years -- that "liberalism" has been uniformly rejected in all it's forms and to be a liberal means to be quiet and take in in the ass. Meanwhile DLC-types, and McCain sucking choad-boy Wittmann is to the right of them while taking their money.

I'm just a publicly educated proletarian from the midwest who runs a sucky suck blog. So forgive me if I am unimpressed by a guy who wants the Democratic Party to run an unending string of John W. Davis types for President.

The Lieberman insurgency is about the base of the Democratic Party being pissed at Joe Lieberman wanted to be a Republican. Maybe Lieberman will win the primary, maybe he won't. But Bullshit Moose will have little to nothing to do with it.
