The Conservative Fool Of The Day is...Joe Lieberman!

How long is the Right going to beat the troop surge dead horse?

I'm pretty sure Joe Lieberman has gotten a Conservative Fool Of The Day entry before, but there's few other people who deserve an entry again and again. Now there's more laughs at Lieberman's expense, as he's demanding the Senate vote on a resolution declaring that the Iraq War troop surge was successful.

How many times does this bullshit have to be debunked? The fact of the matter is: the surge didn't work, most of the benchmarks weren't met, and more soldiers died. (The number of casualties declined only months after the surge ended.) Republicans like Lyin' Lindsey Graham and so-called "independents" like Lieberman just can't admit they were wrong to support it.

It amazes you: The economy has been agonizingly evaporating for a quarter-century, and Lieberman wants a vote on feely-bad horseshit like this.

What's even more amazing is that Lieberman insists the surge worked even though it's been proven that not only is this not true but it's also a politically disastrous stance. Obama's poll numbers tanked when he told Bill O'Reilly the surge worked. Hasn't Lieberman learned anything from that?

You're an idiot, Joe.
