In a Crushing Blow to Joe Lieberman, Chrysler Cans the PT Cruiser

We know that drivers want style, safety and fuel economy, but what about Joementum?

Apparently Chrysler doesn't think so, since they just announced they're discontinuing the PT Cruiser, which was nothing less than the flagship vehicle of Joe Lieberman's failed 2004 presidential bid!

If you spent any time in New Hampshire in January '04, you could barely cross the street without getting run down by one of Lieberman's Joemobiles, blitzing around town with a vision of self-righteousness, boredom, and an unintentionally hilarious theme song, as heard here:



While Chrysler owners hold vigils for their beloved Cruiser, Lieberman is now faced with a graver issue: He has to find a new signature vehicle for his 2012 re-election campaign. Ideally one that-- given his latest poll numbers-- resembles a hearse as strongly as the PT Crusier does.
