WASN'T EMERSON THE BOOZER?:
How to campaign on a faraway planet (DAVE BARRY, Jan. 27, 2004, The Miami Herald)
[V]oters were hard to find on Sunday when Sen. Joe ''Joe'' Lieberman, accompanied by the media, went campaigning door to door with his wife, Hadassah. Lieberman is trailing in the polls, but surging, at least according to his campaign headquarters, which sent out a press release that begins, quote: ``The energy on the ground in New Hampshire is incredible.''With all due respect, somebody at Lieberman headquarters is smoking crack. There is no energy on the ground in New Hampshire. New Hampshire is currently the same temperature as Pluto.
Nevertheless, Lieberman was upbeat as he prepared to canvass a residential neighborhood.
"We're feeling . . . JOE-mentum!'' he said. Really.
Apparently, that Joementum is the same affliction Joe Namath has. Posted by Orrin Judd at January 28, 2004 9:42 AM
Lieberman's claim of a third-place tie last night when he clearly finished in fifth place was just bizarre. The guy needs to fold up shop.

Kerry, et al., will soon start campaigning as the true American patriots, the purveyors of real American values, the genuine keepers of the flame.
Perverted, and betrayed, by that man in the White House and his band of shady confederates.
Posted by: Barry Meislin at January 28, 2004 10:47 AMFor Lieberman it is good news/badnews
Good news is that he finished second.
Bad news everyone else tied for first.
