Joe Lieberman beaten, vows to return
"I AM THE SENATE!"
Yep, sanctimonious prick Joe Palpatine Lieberman plans to run as an independent, which is pretty hilarious to those of us who remember him complaining about Nader running a third-party campaign in 2000.
Also hilarious are the complaints that voting out Joe is somehow indicative that the Democratic party is intolerant of dissenting views, given that Joe is about as anti-free speech as they come. He never met a form of potentially offensive entertainment he didn't subsequently try to boycott or ban.
Well, this time he offended the base, and they have effectively boycotted him. Karma's a bitch, Joe.

Hillary is just as guilty of the pandering, out of touch indictments against video games.
It is astonishing watching a politician describe video games. It's as if they think a portal to hell opens up every time someone picks up a controller (when in fact only 20% of video games actually involve opening a portal to hell.)

Hillary's more of a panderer. Being a sanctimonious scold is natural to Joe, so I wouldn't call it necessarily pandering in his case, just being who he is.
Remember when D&D and Judas Priest were supposed to send people to Hell?

Ah, D&D. Some people are still a bit touchy about that one... A lot, LOT less, though.
Poor Joe L. He was sort of, well, him. No more Joe-mentum.
I feel like I should be sad about him losing, since he was technically a centrist, but he really did bug me in a lot of ways on the other hand, so meh.

Wait a second. What with Al Gore and ManBearPig on the loose, and Jimmy "Malaise" Carter bringing peace and understanding to the Middle East, Tipper Gore and Prince, and Bill Clinton "Feeling Our Pain", I have to ask: which major Democratic politicians aren't sanctimonious?
Heck, why don't you give me a list of politicians anywhere, anytime who aren't sanctimonious. Maybe Cato the Elder: he really WAS that pious.

'tis a question of degree.
All politicians are corrupt - should Nixon not have been called out for being more corrupt than most?
