The Unspoken Reason Why Voters Shouldn't Support Sen. Lieberman

by Tony Peyser

Joe DiMaggio's career wasn't checkered
His 56-game hitting streak is still a record.

Joe Louis deserves perpetual kvelling
For his 1936 win over Max Schmeling.

Joe Wilson stood up to the Bush crooks like
A man who dared to be what a hero looks like.

But closet Republican Joe Lieberman just
Is a fellow no good Democrat can trust.

To die-hard Liberals he's long brought shame
But also to folks who share his first name.

To our party he offers nothing but woes
The simple truth is he's bad for the Joes.
