Hapless Ineffectual Loser Ned Lamont Hints He Might Be Prepared Lose to Joe Lieberman in Another Futile Gesture of Feckless Impotence

As Count Floyd would say: "Oooh, scary, scary!"

"Three years ago he was a strong proponent for universal health care and I accused him of, after 20 years, dithering on that topic," Lamont told POLITICO. "As far as I can tell, a filibuster is one more dither, to quote the former vice president [Dick Cheney]."

Asked if he would consider another bid against Lieberman when the senator comes up for reelection in 2012, Lamont said he was "getting a lot of messages" today, but was not prepared to consider a campaign "right now."

"It's like the public option," Lamont quipped. "I want the chance to opt in. I want the chance to opt out. Give me the choice."

He "quipped." Is that a quip? Really?

It amuses me that millionaire Ned Lamont wants "the option" of opting in to discount welfare reduced-benefits Sub-Medicare. I'm sure he'll be the first on the sign-up sheet.

In related news, Ned Lamont also wants to opt-in to government housing. Some of those joints have sweeet concrete balconies. And the stairwells will give him plenty of room for his illegal pit-bull-breeding business.

Ned Lamont fever: Catch it!
