And a big f you right back Joe. Asswipe.
Washington (CNN) - Sen. Joe Lieberman – whose opposition to a public insurance option has drawn outrage from liberal groups for months – is used to finding himself in progressive crosshairs.
Now it's his wife's turn.
Activists are setting their sights on Hadassah Lieberman, launching a celebrity-studded petition drive to convince the nation's largest breast cancer non-profit to end the Connecticut senator's wife role as a spokeswoman.
The move to pressure the Susan G. Komen for the Cure foundation came the same day Lieberman's husband angered Democrats by announcing that he would not support an expansion of Medicare to cover individuals under the age of 55. Organizers did not point to that decision, instead citing Hadassah Lieberman's own ties to the health care industry.
Lieberman has worked as a consultant for companies including Pfizer and ALCO.
"We are asking Ellen DeGeneres, Christie Brinkley and other high-profile celebrities who are associated with Komen to demand that no more money raised for cancer treatment be given to Hadassah Lieberman or any other ex-Pharma/Insurance strategists," said Jane Hamsher, founder of the Firedoglake blog.
Organizers say the petition has drawn the support of celebrities including Christie Brinkley, Cynthia Nixon, Ellen DeGeneres, Gloria Gaynor, Jennifer Tilly, Marcia Cross, Mimi Rogers, Neil Patrick Harris, and Trisha Yearwood.
