Stop the Whine

I am now officially sick of Sen. Joe Liebermann's whining. The junior democratic senator from Connecticut (and his friends) keep going on about how he is some sort of victim, how he is the focus of cruel attacks and bitter partisanship. BS.

Get over yourself Joe.

Did you really think that you could embrace one of the least succesful and most unpopular President's in American history, support one of the least popular wars in American history and your Democratic constituents would just turn the other cheek and figure you knew better than they? Earth to Joe, when elected officials take stands that are wildly unpopular with their constituency, they risk losing their jobs.

Climb down off the cross already. This isn't about the politics of personal destruction. This is about you being out of touch with the people who elect you and foregtting that a dozen years in the Senate does not entitle you to employment for life.
