Disclosure: I worked for the Lamont campaign doing web design and production and some writing for the official blog (from 9/5/06 to 11/07/06).

TPM on Joe: "It's enough. F--k him."

Unusually strong - but warranted - language from Josh Marshall. I would hope Lieberman's comment this week was similarly the last straw for all Democrats, Republicans, and unaffiliateds who are sick of the McCarthyist tactics of Bush, Cheney, Rove, and Lieberman:

But now Lieberman is not only running as the de facto Republican in the race, he's running as the worst sort of Republican, going on the trail claiming that any serious questioning of our policy in Iraq is a victory for the terrorists, even pulling in yesterday's terror plot take-down into his angle against Lamont. With Lamont, those guys might have blown up the plane. Leaving Iraq is a win for the terrorists. A Lamont win is a win for the terrorists. That was after Wednesday when Joe pledged to save the Democratic party from the extremists he seems to think make up the entire Democratic party. Except for Joe.

So questioning the president's policy on Iraq is a win for the terrorists. The Democratic party is outside the mainstream of American politics. I can go to Republicans for that, right?

So it's not just about the independent candidacy any more. It's about him. Enough. Just leave.

Finally, enough is "enough." The news from Liberman's devastating defeat is the "outing" of his real constituency and his true ideological bent.

While many may have suspected that there were close personal ties with Rove, Cheney, Norquist, Mehlman or any of the rest of the Republican Neocon Noise Machine, it took the defeat of "one of theirs" to bring them all out, spitting, fuming and foaming at the mouth. With Joe marching in lockstep.
