Connecticut is finally free of Joe Lieberman, as confused Susan Bysiewicz asks if it's Election Day already...

Now "Say it Ain't So Joe" can remove the saddle from the fence he's pretended to sit on for 22 years.

A few days before this AIPAC shill voted for the introductory installment known as the first Gulf War, he pretended to be so undecided and so reflective that he came across as an (obviously pretend) bumbling ass to watchers at a meeting in Wethersfield, Connecticut.

What did we expect from a man who will now see his life story portrayed by Max Wright of Alf.

Would you like cheese with your whine, Senator ?

See a clip of Max Wright honing his craft years in advance as he prepared for this role of a lifetime at this link...

As for the easily confused Bysiewicz who is running on the "I Used to be Indecisive but Now I'm not So Sure" platform, the Yale Daily News summarizes what I've dubbed "the Little Whirlwind of Indecision that Knows No Rest" (with apologies to Lincoln's partner William Herndon) thus:

Bysiewicz' decision to run comes after a difficult 2010 for the politician. Her original plan was to run for governor. Despite polls showing her as a frontrunner for the Democratic nomination eventually won by current Gov. Dan Malloy, she dropped out of the race to run for state attorney general. Those plans came to a screeching halt, though, when the state Supreme Court ruled her ineligible to serve as attorney general because the law requires that the attorney general practice law for 10 years, and she had only practice for six.

On Election Day balloting problems across the state required courts to extend polling hours in several jurisdictions, including Bridgeport. And in the days following the election, as the governor's race between Malloy and Republican Tom Foley remained up in the air, Bysiewicz drew criticism for announcing Malloy had won when many ballot counts showed Foley in the lead.

Bysiewicz entered joined the state legislature in 1992 at the age of 31, her first stint as an elected official. She became secretary of the state in 1999.

No word on whether she plans on tying up any rescue squads for 15 minutes for any more of her former teachers having fatal heart attacks other than my father as she did on 31 May 2008.

I'm sure Connecticut will be fielding Wethersfield High School's own Chris Murphy as the state's junior Senator soon enough.
