Meet The Most Important Politician In Human History: Shameless Joe Lieberman!

Shameless Joe Lieberman (I-CT) has received millions in contributions from the health and insurance industries, but — there's more! Shameless Joe's second (trophy?) wife, Hadassah, works for Hill & Knowlton, a lobbying firm based in New York City, as a senior counselor in its health and pharmaceuticals practice. She has held senior positions at the Hospital of Saint Raphael in New Haven, the American Committee for Shaare Zedek Medical Center in Jerusalem, Association of Public-Safety Communications Officials-International (APCO), Pfizer, National Research Council, Hoffmann-La Roche, and Lehman Brothers. Ed Schultz of MSNBC looked at Mrs. Lieberman's ties to the healthcare industry and asked, "Does the word 'whore' apply"? If this is a (fair & balanced) conflict of interest, so be it.
