I see that the current Lieberman burps will be pleasantly cherry flavored. Not only is Joe practically jumping up and down on the couch in his enthusiasm to be hand-in-hand with McCain and Bush, he's also taking a cue from Tony Snow and saying unbelievably callous crap:In words that should trouble any Democrats counting Lieberman in their camp, Lieberman was praising Bush as a “great leader” for bucking American opinion, as expressed in the 2006 election, in his determination to double down in Iraq. Lieberman then said something incredible:Well, thank goodness. I thought each and every one of these new soldiers in the "surge" coming home dead was the "worst that could happen." What a load off my mind.
Even those opposed to the surge, he said, “ought to at least let us try it.”
“The worst that could happen,” he continued, is that this policy could become another partisan flashpoint in Washington.
"Partisan Politics"- Worse than dead Americans. Worse than dead Iraqis, too.
