Enjoy being a government relations servicer, Joe

Of course Joe Lieberman, once again, turned out to be a lying sack of shit:

Lieberman said he is reviewing his options for his post-Senate years. Asked by a reporter if he intends to become a lobbyist, Lieberman said, "No, I'm not going to do that."

To translate from the Liebermanese, that actually meant, "Yes, I'm going to do exactly that":

That's an excerpt from a client engagement letter between Lieberman's law firm and one Basit Igtet, an aspiring Libyan politician, appended to a registration form that D.C. lobbyists for foreign nationals are required to file with the Department of Justice. And "government relations services" is just a polite synonym for "lobbying." 

Fortunately, since this is Daily Kos, we don't need to use any polite synonyms to describe Joe Lieberman. Not that anyone would even want to.
