Yep, that guy's a fucking douchebag. But seriously, Lieberman needs to leave. The earth. I'm starting to have the same ticks when I look at his picture as I do when I see Cheney's.

I've seen the "queer as . . ." or sometimes "tight as . . ." phrase described as references to Oliver Cromwell's worthless son Richard, but my knowledge of Brit History is not deep enough to know if that makes any sense. We don't learn much about that over here, except for what's on Masterpiece Theater. @Benedick: “Dickie” was his nickname, until the IRA blew his ass to smithereens.

I've never heard that expression before. Did I ever mention 'Camp as tits'? It's a favorite. Mountbatten was a close friend of Coward's. Perhaps that's why he might be thought gay today. Coward based the captain in his very fine movie <i>In Which We Serve</i> on him. @Dodgerblue: He wasn’t a Dick, he was a Louis. I’ve never heard that expression before.
