OK I've been fake-tweeting the #Hagel hearings but Joe Manchin FOR REAL just said "I get really lonely sometimes." New campaign slogan ahoy!

West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin really did lament his loneliness at Chuck Hagel’s confirmation hearing today. Aww. It’s lonely out there for a red state Dem from the “No Labels” caucus.
Sen. Manchin says he wishes he could have served with Hagel, says it's sometimes "lonely" to be voting against your party

Manchin, who sometimes bucks party, says he sometimes feels "lonely" in the Senate and would've liked to serve with Lugar.

Does Manchin not know about Twitter? Here’s an introduction, Senator:
Could someone get Joe Manchin a friend . . or maybe a dog?

Good grief….Could someone please find Manchin a date? He's having trouble remembering what he's supposed to be doing right now. #lonely

Sen Joe Manchin is going to ask Hagel for a hug at any moment. Sometimes he feels "lonely". Holy cow……….

Joe Manchin feels "lonely"… Tears up while hugging blanky at night

The tear-stained blanky is where he hides his emo diary.
