Ne-Joe-Con

Shorter Joe Lieberman:

What America needs right now is a president who -- like his cold war predecessors -- responds to every conceivable threat by launching disastrous, multi-decade wars that wreck the US economy and hollow out its moral authority; initiating covert operations that inflame civil wars in areas of the world remote from its objective national interests; deliberately exaggerating the capabilities of its adversaries; and demoting or sabotaging their own domestic agendas in the name of waging a metaphysical battle that allows them make tough-sounding statements from time to time.
