Do I sound obsessed by Joe Lieberman? It's only because I'm disgusted that this jerk can exercise so much power and came close to being the vice president. Anyway, this may be old news, but I just learned how he managed to win his first campaign. He ran for class president in ninth grade. His tactics included a poster showing himself sitting on the roof of his family home with the slogan, "Vote For Me or I'll Jump." And he has been holding people, ideas, and legislation hostage ever since...
Maybe Mel Brooks got the idea for a scene in Blazing Saddles from this episode?
