Putting aside the particulars of what Lieberman said during the campaign, I'm pretty sure that "we all do it" is not part of the Jewish tradition for achieving spiritual purity.

I submit to you, Sen. Lieberman, that you were punished yesterday more than you realize. Stick with me on this. I'll explain: it never fully occurred to me how Obama would use his strengths in a position of leadership. Until this week.

Beyond every outward thing Joe Lieberman did in Congress in 2008, he finally came out and admitted through his actions that he is exactly what we've always known he is -- a Republican.

The Republican Party falsely accused Obama of hastening the genocide of the Jewish people -- while Sen. Lieberman gave this strategy his seal of approval by campaigning for McCain.

Predict the final outcome of the electoral vote, the popular vote, and the party breakdown of the new Senate and House. The winner gets an iPod already loaded with the top songs of the '08 race.

Bud McFarlane tells me that right now "a friend" of his is working with Palin on foreign affairs. "She's clearly very intelligent," he says. "It's a good sign she hasn't been afraid to say what she doesn't know. That was Ronald Reagan's strength."

Republicans know something Democrats don't: voters don't vote on the issues, so you might as well do what you believe and portray yourself as a strong leader - and try and actually translate your values into law.

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."

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.
Max Blumenthal | Posted 06.04.2008 | Politics
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.

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.
