FUNNIES: 'Sore Loser-Man'

Aug. 13, 2006 — -- A roundup of the late-night comics.

Jay Leno: So let's see: President Bush is on a 10-day vacation, Congress is on a month-long vacation, and Joe Lieberman is on a permanent vacation.

Jon Stewart: Sam, what do you make of Lieberman's decision to press forward in this race as an independent?
Samantha Bee: Well, Jon, he's no quitter. In fact, sources in his campaign tell me if he loses again in November, he'll start his own Senate.

Stewart: But the real story was not the un-blinking, yet gleeful winner, but the sore loser-man, if you will -- who seemed blissfully unaware of the reality of the situation.
Sen. Joe Lieberman, D-Conn. [clip]: I'm a sports fan, so I'm going to use a sports comparison. As I see it, in this campaign, we've just finished the first half and the Lamont team is ahead.
Stewart: Perhaps I could, uh, offer my own, uh, sports comparison, if you will. There was a game, and you lost.
