Michael Moore is threatening the state of Connecticut with a boycott if they don’t recall Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-CT) — which would put Connecticut’s economy in a very tight spot, considering they couldn’t recall him even if they wanted to.

Moore posted this on Twitter: “People of Connecticut: What have u done 2 this country? We hold u responsible. Start recall of Lieberman 2day or we’ll boycott your state.”

This comes a day after Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-CT) said that Lieberman “ought to be recalled.” In fact, there is no provision in the Constitution for recalling a member of Congress.

Memo to Michael Moore and any other frustrated lefties out there: There is no such thing as a Congressional recall. So until 2012, we’re all stuck with Joe.
