  • Joe Lieberman is sh*tting a brick about something

  • Somehow, we still tolerate each other. Eventually this will be the only forum left.

Well he is pretty insane. Somewhat in his defense I do think that there needs to be a better system to getting medicine and vaccines and whatnot to the public. But I don't think that system would include the postal office haha.

Edit: Also there are some pretty good ideas in the bill.

This is why people voted for Nader in 2000. THIS!

This, on the other hand, is almost unbelievably shady of Lieberman : He literally says, post 9/11 Commission (which he practically chaired), that he has "no evidence" that World Trade Center 7 went down.

This is quite literally the most bizarre and nearly unexplainable video of Lieberman I have ever seen.

He probably meant he has seen "no evidence" of a conspiracy (beyond the conspiracy of the attackers, of course), not that he has seen "no evidence" that the building went down.

I truly wish I believed that... :P

What's the more reasonable explanation: he thinks there is no evidence that WTC 7 went down, or he thinks there's no evidence that there is a conspiracy. Speaking is different than writing; were he writing he'd probably make it clear what he meant. But we do this all the time when speaking, particularly in a situation like a Q&A.

If you believe he thought WTC 7 didn't go down, then I think that's what you want to believe. Much as, say, Seeker wanted to believe malice on your part back when you lost mod privileges despite the reasonable explanation I provided (accidentally hit edit instead of quote).

I respect your opinion, Kup, but Lieberman runs with a lot of Israeli arms dealers I don't trust in the slightest, and I will retain my doubt, emotional as it may be.
