Rush Limbaugh Fears Lieberman for VP -- And So Do I
Joe Lieberman is being vetted as a Vice Presidential running mate for John McCain, and it seems to be an option that McCain is seriously considering.

Lieberman arrived on the national stage as the running mate of Gore, whose campaign stressed support of the people over the powerful. We can't afford to have another VP who would undermine the progressive movement from within.

Lieberman has publicly endorsed McCain and traveled the world on his behalf. And yet he is lecturing us about partisan politics?

After a lovely missive from our favorite member of the Connecticut For Lieberman Party hit my inbox, we scratched out this song about him -- "Coalition of Turncoats."

That most of the crowd loved McCain's speech is a sad reflection on AIPAC, and that it is reaping what it has sown in moving so aggressively to the right in recent years.

Lieberman knows better. His in-laws survived the Holocaust. I cannot understand how he can justify standing alongside a man who preaches that the murder of millions of Jews somehow had a divine purpose.

Prior to McCain's sweeping renunciation, Lieberman could have reasonably claimed to be unaware of the preacher's repugnant views on the Holocaust. Now, he has no excuse for ignorance.

Lieberman's Democratic connection is...tenuous, culminating with his support for the presumptive GOP nominee. So what if the Dems pick up, say, five more seats?

What did we learn from General Petreaus this week? As expected, perhaps, we learned less about the future of Iraq than we did about the future of this year's presidential campaigns.

In a brilliant essay, Malcolm Muggeridge described public figures of strong conviction throughout history who, in eyewitness accounts, saw what they wanted to see, and became what they wanted to be.

Another gaffe is perhaps even more telling of McCain's grasp of Middle Eastern history and culture than his Iran-Al Qaeda claims: his comparison of the Jewish holiday of Purim to Halloween.

The idea that it was the velocity of MoveOn.org, as applied to the mass of Joe Lieberman, that provided the Joe-mentum behind his endorsement of McCain is preposterous on its face.
