Sen. Joseph Lieberman, I-Connecticut, compared presumptive Republican nominee John McCain to a surprising figure on Sunday -- Democratic icon John F. Kennedy.

"I'm a Democrat who came to the party in the era of President John F. Kennedy," Lieberman told George Stephanopoulos on ABC's "This Week. "It's a strange turn of the road when I find among the candidates running this year that the one, in my opinion, closest to the Kennedy legacy, the John F. Kennedy legacy, is John S. McCain."

Joe is RIGHT! (he's got nothing left)

Question: President Bush has talked about our staying in Iraq for 50 years

McCain:" MAKE IT A HUNDRED."

Mankind must put an end to war or war will
put an end to mankind----John F. Kennedy

I think what Sen. Lieberman meant was "John McCain's presidency will take us all the way back to 1960." And to that I say, "I agree."

Obama supported Lieberman, rather than the rightfully elected (Conneticut primary) nominee Ned Lamont. Obama supported Lieberman because "Holy Joe" is a mentor of Obama. Lieberman and McCain are itching/wanting for BOMBBARMENT of IRAN. Obama is Lieberman "Lite".

truly unfortunate that obama supported lieberman over lamont, but lieberman is supporting mccain, so hopefully obama learned a bitter lesson. i agree that mccain will go into iran first chance he gets. Ugh!

As a Likud Senator, Lieberman probably cannot tell the difference between a Catholic and a Presbyterian. But aside from the fact that they would be the same age if Kennedy were still alive, and that they both have the same first name, there is very little resemblance. You see, John Kennedy cared about the little guy, and John McSame only cares about what his lobbyists tell him to care about.

I think JFK's daughter and brother have a better idea of who is like JFK. That's Mr. Obama. Lieberman is a traitor and lover of war. His kids aren't dying in Iraq or in Iran if McCain is elected

Hopefully Ted Kennedy and clan will sue Lieberman for slander! What a moron this guy is.

Ahhhhh no, Kennedy had vision had great plans for the country McSame has nothing other then to continue sending billions of dollars to Iraq for nothing, If McSame were like Kennedy he would have a plan for Iraq and the Economy. Instead what we have from McSame is more of the same in Iraq, and I do not understand the economy. He is the least like Kennedy amoungst the candidates, but then Sloe Joe doesn't know much.

The only good thing about Al Gore's being cheated out of the Presidency is that Joe Lieberman didn't become VP. Lieberman is a modern-day Benedict Arnold, and I don't mean to his party; I mean to the entire country.

If JFK were alive, he'd be 91. I guess he and McCain do have something in common.

I had no idea that LIEburrman was such a comedian, and from the theatre of the absurd. Very strange credentials for a politician.

Joe says that the democrats have changed but in reality the only thing that has happened is the war, and the war is a litmus test for those who choose Israel"s interests over America's. Joe may be a US senator, but his loyalties lay with Israel, of this there is no doubt.

What kind of twilight times do we live in when a repulsive character like Lieberman can make an asinine comparison like that and get anyones attention.

He would'nt know a JFK if he fell over one.

Senator Joe, I did not know JFK, but I know a Democrat when I see one, and you sir are not a Democrat.

Who cares what the "Likud Party" Senator thinks. His credibility, and relevance isn't worth the press run ink that tells the story.

Check please!

Two narcissistic, delusional, stupid men that are unattractive in the extreme.

What a crock of shit!!

McCain would have to consider himself lucky to be able to stand in the shadow of a statue of JFK.

John McCain and Lieberman are not worthy to be pigeon poop on JFK statue.

You are so right. Lie-berman looks like a Shar-pei. I expect him to hike his leg on McCain any day now. Actually, I'd like to hike my leg on McCain.

Well, he does display almost as much brainwave activity as JFK did at Parkland Memorial.

Whenever Lieberman smiles he looks just like Topo Gigo, the Italian mouse from the Ed Sullivan Show.

The good thing about a Lieberman's endorsement is noone will pay attention. He has become the dinosaur of politics of not only being very clumsy at it, he gets very little done!
