Bill Kristol Lies about Lieberman's Party in the New York Times
Why, oh why, did the New York Times hire Bill Kristol to besmirch its reputation and spread garbage?
Today, he just blatantly lies to readers while discussing John McCain's Veep pick.
Sorry, Bill, but proper capitalization matters a great deal here. Joe Lieberman is the king of his own make-believe party, and that party is the Independent Democrat party. He is not an "independent Democratic senator."
While we obviously all know that Joe is no longer a real Democrat, he tried to fool Connecticut voters with his made up party name in order to win re-election.
Now, Bill Kristol is the one trying to fool readers of the Times, by suggesting that Lieberman is a regular Democrat who happens to be independent, rather than the only member of a party that was non-existent until he made it up in order to get re-elected after losing the Democratic primary -- you know, how real Democrats get elected, not fake Democrats who lose and then create their own party.
I can't believe the NYT allowed this garbage to appear in print!

He could select the person he would really like to have by his side in the White House — but whose selection would cause palpitations among many of his staffers and supporters: the independent Democratic senator from Connecticut, Joe Lieberman.http://www.nytimes.com/2008/08/25/opinion/25kristol.html?pagewanted=print

lol... I guess it's serious but it made me laugh. I just can't get the image of Lieberman whispering in McCain's ear about the gaffe stating Iran was training Al Queada(Sp?).
I also think of Lieberman as the two-faced Grima Wormtongue, Saruman's flunky in the Lord of the Rings trilogy, who would tell the King of Rohan what to think when he was under Saruman's spell.
Lieberman to me is the poster boy for the term uber-weenie. I heard one of the republican commentators saying he believed that the republicans could shut him down as VP on the covention floor. I doubt McCain will risk that.
The republicans can have him.

When I saw that clip of Lieberman whispering a correction in McCain's ear, I immediately thought of the time Nancy Reagan whispered cues in Ronnie's ear.
We all now know that Reagan began experiencing, uh, concentration difficulties while he was president. As for McCain....?
