  • alapoet, on 10/27/2008, -3/+28That certainly would explain a lot about the Senator from Connecticut.
  • FatLoser, on 10/28/2008, -4/+21That's the first time it turned out to be an Onion article and I thought it was real, rather than the other way around.
  • lovestospooge, on 10/28/2008, -0/+12AIPAC?
  • NewSc2, on 10/28/2008, -0/+10Darth Sidious has overlords?
  • Ne007, on 10/28/2008, -1/+10Dugg just for mentioning Lieberman's "repeated insolence."

    He's Darth NeoCon.
  • tbredofsin, on 10/28/2008, -2/+11No, just yours.

    And mine.
  • Ephilation, on 10/28/2008, -1/+9I cant believe this guy should have been vice president .... geez.
  • Niallgriff, on 10/28/2008, -1/+6What?
  • greencandy, on 10/28/2008, -1/+6High Council of Minerva? I thought McCain's wife was on that one.
  • tdp301, on 10/28/2008, -2/+6Yes, that was about half of the article.
  • FatLoser, on 10/28/2008, -2/+6your brother is so glib
  • inactive, on 10/28/2008, -0/+4Scary...
  • BossKey, on 10/28/2008, -0/+3The overlords are just shifting blame. Weren't they supposed to use their superior technology to accelerate his Joe-mentum?
  • noen, on 10/28/2008, -1/+4It's sad how you can't take a fu*king joke.
  • KibblesnBitts, on 10/28/2008, -0/+3You forgot the funny!
  • inactive, on 10/28/2008, -1/+4Really, the Onion is getting lazy. They just took the truth and replaced all the mentions of AIPAC and jewish conspiracy groups with made up, fake conspiracy groups. Hardly that creative, Onion.
  • RudeTurnip, on 10/28/2008, -1/+4It's a sad state of affairs when you're surprised to discover that it's an Onion article...and relieved to discover that it's only an Onion article.
  • PotentPotables, on 10/28/2008, -0/+3http://rememberlaughter.ytmnd.com/
  • dh122, on 10/28/2008, -1/+4You tried too hard.
  • jugglingjon, on 10/28/2008, -0/+3we require more overlords
  • inactive, on 10/28/2008, -2/+4Is this a many-layered metaphor for the much-ballyhooed International Jewish Conspiracy?
  • noen, on 10/28/2008, -0/+2How insolent of you.
  • BlueStarr, on 10/28/2008, -0/+2What? Who?
  • 55mph, on 10/28/2008, -0/+2dugg down for inaccurate. Lieberman is the alien. There's a freightening creature living inside the mild mannered politicians body. Rumor has it his body was taken from a middle school math teacher in Boise.
  • haydesigner, on 10/28/2008, -0/+2Neon, I think we would need to agree on what the joke actually is, first.

    (and whether it is funny... or deeply, deeply sad)
  • gkrat, on 10/28/2008, -0/+1dugg for title.
  • LeepII, on 10/28/2008, -1/+2Lieberman's handlers are from Israel.
  • Lahonda, on 10/28/2008, -0/+1He loves a lot of protein... 'nuff said.
  • Gratefuldead, on 10/28/2008, -1/+2Did the onion hire Alex Jones?
  • PiRATE7, on 10/28/2008, -0/+1"SPAWN MORE OVERLORDS!"
  • Exzhaton, on 10/28/2008, -0/+1I don't see enough overlords, more overlords, more overlords now!
  • transfire, on 10/28/2008, -0/+1Actually I think they probably have succeeded in their goals. Clearly if they wanted McCain to win they would have at least kept a lid on the economic bailout for 6 more weeks, until after the election.
  • AnimaStomp, on 10/28/2008, -0/+1Coolest onion story ever

  • bcollis, on 10/28/2008, -0/+1Solution?
    Spawn more Liebermans.
  • inactive, on 10/28/2008, -1/+1Antisemitic, hitler, holocaust.
  • inactive, on 10/28/2008, -1/+1Buried!
  • Unrealevil, on 10/28/2008, -3/+3Well, I for one welcome our new telepathic Minervan overlords.
  • slvrbullet87, on 10/28/2008, -1/+2Calling every replublican darth is ***** stupid... it takes away from the meaning...
  • RP53, on 10/28/2008, -0/+0HAHAHAHA!
  • tonto69, on 10/28/2008, -4/+2The Zionists' plans of war with Iran may have to be delayed if McCain loses.

    At least I'll be able to Vote for Ron Paul!
  • inactive, on 10/28/2008, -4/+2Like it matters, it could've been the funniest ***** ever, if it's left it's Dugg, if it's right, it's buried. The funniest ***** I read on Digg is from Republicans, and it always gets buried, no matter what. The worst jokes get told over and over about Republicans and they get Dugg automatically. Diggers are very hard on jokes in threads, unless they agree with your politics. You know the drill.
  • inactive, on 10/28/2008, -2/+0I admire and respect Senator Lieberman but this was hilarious.
  • schavira, on 10/28/2008, -3/+1Crap, I accidentally buried this
  • Tehrab, on 10/28/2008, -7/+3"While the Elders of the High Council of Minerva have not yet settled on an appropriate punishment, they are reportedly considering some combination of spine extraction, laser eye-immolation, and a highly complicated process whereby the four-term senator’s pathetic earth body would be condensed into a small pellet and shot at high speeds into the planet’s molten core."
  • patpl22391, on 10/28/2008, -7/+3Sorry, what you guys are doing to Sen. Joe Lieberman is no joke.
  • patpl22391, on 10/28/2008, -10/+6It's sad how you smear a senator who agrees with you on EVERYTHING but Iraq.
