Nitwit Senator Joe-The Hoe-Lieberman

It wasn't too difficult to figure out who deserves the Nitwit Award this time around. It MUST be Joe-The Hoe-Lieberman. This the liar who sold out working Americans from receiving a public option or a buy-in to Medicare. He is no Democrat but a neo-con jerkdecrat.

He has received $2.1 million from the health care industry. He has raised about $49 million overall, including millions from financial firms, lawyers, real estate interests and pro-Israeli groups. Among Lieberman's biggest lifetime contributors is indeed the Harford-based Aetna insurance company, which has contributed $112, 618 through political action committees and individuals. The Travelers Companies, also based in Harford, has contributed $72,119. Purdue Pharma, a Stamford pharaceutical company, contributed $150, 100 to him through individuals and PACs, making it the senator's fourth-largest single contributor. Only United Technologies, Citigroup and Lehman Brothers contributed more.

Also, Pharmaceutical giant Pfizer Inc, contributed $85,000 through individuals and PACs. Lieber-hoe found checks made out to him by Blue Cross-Blue Shield, Anthem, CIGNA, Health Net, and United Health.

The Center for Public Integrity reported that Joe had hoed legislation that benefited Pfizer Inc.

So, Joe Lieberman, you are elected to be Nitwit of the Year!!!
