Ned And Ted Counter Joe ("Lieberman is wrong on this")

Massachusetts Sen. Edward Kennedy, who was in Connecticut Wednesday campaigning for Lieberman's opponent, Ned Lamont, was asked about Lieberman's comment later in the day.

If Lieberman believes that the invasion of Iraq was in keeping with the muscular foreign policy of Truman and JFK, Kennedy said, "He doesn't have it right."

Kennedy, who voted against the Iraq war resolution, said the Bush administration misled Congress and the public into supporting the war, while his brother used solid intelligence to justify a blockade of Cuba to force the removal of Soviet missiles.

"President Kennedy would have been very careful with the facts. He would have been very careful not to sign on for distortions, misrepresentations and manipulation of intelligence," Kennedy said. "That wasn't the Cuban missile crisis. So Joe Lieberman is wrong on this, as he is on the war in Iraq."

This clearly wasn't what Lieberman was aiming for when he started his day on the campaign trail at a Wolcott real estate office shortly after noon.
