NYT: Allied With Democrats, Lieberman Easily Aligns With Republicans

[kskiska]

It came as little surprise that when Senate Republicans blocked debate Monday on a resolution that would have opposed President Bush’s plan to increase troop levels in Iraq, Senator Joseph I. Lieberman, erstwhile Democrat, sided with them.

But Mr. Lieberman also went further, accusing Democrats of giving strength to the enemy and abandoning the troops, and arguing that an alternative resolution that he and many Republicans backed was “a statement of support to our troops.”

That was too much even for one Republican member, Senator John W. Warner of Virginia, a sponsor of the bipartisan resolution against the president’s policy.

“I forcefully argue that ours is in support of the troops,” Mr. Warner said tersely. “And there is no suggestion that one is less patriotic than the other.”

Joe Lieberman, independent, sees himself as Joe Lieberman unchained.

“I feel liberated, free somehow,” he said during an interview in his office.

Miller -- at least at the RNC -- was so utterly over the top that he was a caricature. Lieberdweeb isn't a cartoon character -- at least not yet.

3. Please, please let us get enough of a majority in '08

to make this douche bag irrelevant for the rest of his term.

8. How large of a majority would that be?

Oh that he might find a better opportunity to appease his ego and/or wallet resulting in the s-o-r-r-o-w-f-u-l early resignation of his Senate seat.
