    There is nothing that Lieberman was quoted as saying in the article that accompanies this photo that makes any sense at all. Blah, blah, blah.

    What other reason(s) can there possibly be, besides the lobbying influence money, that would prevent a member of Congress from supporting an amendment to ban DREs?

    A walk in an Indiana marketplace in the summertime…with a flack-jacket and helmet on and an entourage of security!

    When are these REPUBLICANS going to realize we’re not stupid? Just wonderin’…

    Earth to GOP: WALKING AROUND IRAQ IN A BULLET-PROOF JACKET SHOWS THE IRAQ WAR ISN’T GOING WELL!!!

    I consider Lieberman a Republican.

    Just glancing at first, I thought it was John McCain, you shoulda put his spree pic up there side by side, I think it was the same market, no?
    He’s probably at a farmers market in D.C., or it’s set up in the Green Zone.

    It looks like LIEberman has a device in his left hand that would explode his C4 vest.

    He is handing the guy a note with his right hand that says “give me all your money”, I need campaign cash, or I will detonate and bring peace pieces to this place.

    How many bodyguards does it take to see progress in Iraq?
    let’s see a 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8….

    (I guess I still gonna keep this in humor mode)

    That photo made my day. The most comical image since Dukakis in the tank. Too bad the photo doesn’t include the snipers on the nearby roofs and the helicopters circling overhead. This photo speaks volumns about the disaster of the Iraq war. I hope someone saves this for the history books.

    What these photo-op idiots do not understand it is that there are a good six inches between the top of that vest and the chin strap, and some very sensitive parts of the human body reside there.

    One day, somebody is going to find out, and the whole stupid game will change.

    We need to save this picture to use against the RepubliCONs in 08. Talk about looking like an idiot! Buying those knock off brands of sun glasses sure helps China and nobody else. LIEberman looks great in his fake Ray Bans he was wearing after this photo.
