everybody's heard by now it's how we get out there that lieberman anzio
i don't use the terminology system a sense of use uh... of its but
you know i did like one mr as she wrote it and said uh... idon't even believe in
the concept of
he jo weaver
really bookkeeping
so diffuse wedowee vermin are obviously strong
so he's miss he says he might support and is likely to support
a republican filibuster
uh... of
health care reform if it includes a public option with almost like he likes
being that focus with attached
i didn't know better i might well and that's exactly it doubly so let's get to
one is it's really true is gonna stick to it and too wide to do it
so those are the critical parts
white number one
he's doing it
uh... want to poke
democrats not because he loves it
it's just in his nature
and
number two on a more serious major he wasn't in his nature particularly until
he was defeated
via the party that sudipta
uh... the senate the first place whether while bell but you'd already defy
democrats on eight different occasions and that's why
why he was defeated in the primary you know say what they've learned in o six
remember many many senators
in that primary what inside
including a senator from illinois by the name of rock obama they came out and
campaign for
brow bala campaign for joe lieberman develop right
now some of those guys after he lost the primary switched over supported the
democratic candidate
and for which he's never for you to the democrats
he was already screwing them over but then after that they became a personal
thing that's what i mean a big write personal after this i mean even if she
always did it but uh...
at least you're gonna make a good start
that the more serious part of this is that he wants the frame it will bore
political scientist
is that he was a friend so as independent
bipartisan i'm in the middle on centrist that's point number two what number
three years
he say
come to pop
what do you die for
you gotta give me a lot here
and envelope from for negotiations for the republican side
for the democratic side from the lobbyists on and everybody gimme gimme
gimme candy
any political candidate
money et cetera and then all the side 'cause down the deciding vote how do you
like me now you'd be candy and i will story in my
ever-increasing giles
you've got back
for consumption
yes and so now this
a bad side that which is now everybody has to go apis jo weaver
and that's terrible and it sucks
but the flip side that is hey look that's politics not by its life in the
big city at at at the waco that's happened a billion times before eleven a
billion times and and and my dad said that earlier today but there's always
going to be a believer
okay it without lieberman is someone else and i don't know how to get beyond
right
so now the upside of that
is he really got to do it
not necessarily let me give me three very important quotes
when uh...
hodding impose asked them to be expects that he would cast the vote that he's
currently threatening
the answer
that depends
appeared at the end of itself is enough of a quote that depends means defenses
payment more
who spending more in power
uh... in political influence
uh... for
up direct money but uh... money for a stamp business center
what do you got for now we get to where they might have four mumbo says in the
same but let me give you another quote
uh... when uh...
he said
i believe we need to have a debate on health care reform
and i hope to be in a position to vote yes on health care reform
and so what do you think it was first initial thing is
yes or bring this debate
okay whenever how discussion
and then what it is that you got to filibuster the bill that it is important
the luster could
could i by the way you can hear report later from fox news on on lieberman they
don't understand how it works battle that they have no idea to godzilla but
you can filibuster to prevent
uh... but and they're not going to do that
i hear lieberman is saying that he's gonna let it at least go to it uh... but
then what he would do is that stopped the book
and so it's a very and he is a filibuster against so he doesn't do it
in the first time but he doesn't have a second out
if you're still public option in there
he says i'm joining the revolt and he's not gonna let that actual thing i have
an opportunity
effective final bill
objects o
but he said at the bands and in this court he says i hope to be in a position
to vote yes on health care reform
dot he could say all i've said that he's a policy reasons that they give me when
i walk policy-wise
but it could also mean
if they give you what i want politically and now the third quote
uh... would leave a memory would be the bullet that sings health care reform
uh...
edwin asked again about that work by reporters a scrub of reporters that
gathered around him which he loves has been pointed out with the reasons he's
doing this
is for the spotlight
he he loves the attention joe lieberman stands on principle
when that principle
suit
and that is all he cares about because the principles we've just heard years we
uh... j
we talked about
when it was uh... democrats filibustering
it was a different principle that he stood on an exact
opposite principled and focused and because that made in the center of
attention out again makes in the center of attention
uh... tilly ruminant in may
ways alike my godson al
but loves being the center of attention and and who can blame these five owned
by the way cuter joe lieberman slowly slowly morphing into job that
but that's not not quite as cute uh... it's that what my friend steve calls you
know what his daughter was sent to a when she was five
the because of the look at me daddy lebanon but let me tell you what do you
know i thought that sounds wonderful would be great
dividend
right but he says when asked by the report is
uh... if he's gonna really sink health care reform
i hate to
i really want to get yes
gimme gimme gimme gimme
the right
so now idea that as goodness
because that means he can be bought yes you can be bought by the other side and
he has been bought by the other side on many occasions according this occasion
but it gives us the hope that he be bought by our side
now real quick
well who's why's he doing this on the fact that he hates republicans alums
authorities democrats lovers
republicans
and was being sarcastic uh... the insurance companies are in connecticut
so they've been feeding julie berman whose whole career
answer chris dodd
at right now but chris dodd also from connecticut on the right side here so
you don't have to take that lobbies money and do is they tell you but joe
lieberman of course has been protecting julie was not even for a trigger
that's that
it surely we got him
the republican olympia snowe
past shazli knowing what that
good wholly owned subsidiary of the insurance companies for that does not
bode well because he's been bought for a long time by those guys that are in his
home state so that's that's but
now look as to what should be done about it he'll be for the trigger
yet not healed yes obviously in as part of negotiation
so i'm a realist
uh... i don't want to be emotional here but i don't know how do you know i would
like to think and i did
we gotta get about we gotta get the book so here's what i've got off
carrots beans
carrots yes joe what do you need okay what other chairmanship what in the
right character sticks by the way it's a bad uh...
really want a carrot now
nine ellis's carrot cake because some delicious edwards is a very good at it
was really excited to wrap it but
another and why are you getting ready for this day it's not the direct who had
a little different for them
he sent you you know i don't have to be uncomfortably give joe some things he
wants
it now people hate that bullet that sparks bucket another him on the other
hand when it comes with a stick
at if you go to the republicans hemi
she would take his chairmanship away
and we really were having this conversation that i would think you're
here for a i mean dot doesn't matter what we do i was thinking about uh...
the priorities tranship away
like without tel
lighted monday morning and uh... you know to be like oh no no you don't have
that morning coxswain repair burger one thing that would be that he would need
most
would be to become
irrelevant
and the fact is
uh... after a brief moment where he would be entirely the center of
attention
he would become completely irrelevant
if democrats just shrugged and said you know what we don't have sixteen apathy
about whether so was going to be a fifty nine and now he's just one forty one
republican senators and that's it cod liver problems you have no power in
called look if you want
you don't have any chairmanship sugary subcommittee chairmanships thompson
committee's obviously but that's it distribution or t
and you know everyone
but we're not issued
yet and at if he doesn't vote with us on this
that he is not the six year for that he's irrelevant right to make a
statement
there's no point to be in in a democratic august so i was the
chairmanship gone
and i would actively kick him out of the caucus because it is going to spy on
them adele the republicans what they're doing i wouldn't care and i literally
would die i just it like that you know what i have my mom always used to say
should deal with the client
you don't go out protest you just go back a bit
mhm i don't have a mark that i got across the street pork chop
mikey whose fifty ignore
yet but i hope that the crazy people in town
right united like dilemma read in the role of berserk it looked like a great
now open debate appointees ruled versus soul right on this one yeah sure will
mean basically the other you know fifty seven of the sixty democrats around
fifty eight
right away if some of those are the ones that with me but it's not clear insight
so but
so far
the democrats have not threatened
a single thing angeli
now that i just got started so that that's not be to tell anybody give you
begin with a stick first uh... eh first of all they probably won't make that
public because making that public almost reduces d
the carrot part
and only likes to bowl
least of all the uh... precious little chilly and now a that look you got a
bully him but if you make it a public that he can save face man in politics
that support so i so i mean
when it gets time to carrots and sticks
it's funny because this caller who called in many many years ago said this
about your liver
and we should listen to me again
down
but that did not at all
they will do
