As the fourth or fifth poster remarked above, this support of Hastert is probably going to sink Lieberman. What is he thinking?!

Who knows? All I can say is that if Lieberman really wants to tar himself with Hastert’s brush, he’s welcome to it.

Juck Loe Fieberman!

The only reason he supports Lieberman is because Lieberman is supporting one of his wife’s (Diedre) causes.

There are a lot of other ways to support a cause without bending over and kissing the ass of someone like Holy Joe!!!

SO off topic but I can’t stand myself — my diary at Kos today got front-paged, with a comment from Kos himself!

Your diary was the awesomest, and Mr.Pluvius and I are going to contribute to Charlie based on your say-so (living in Massachusetts, we try to spread the wealth elsewhere at election time).

That’s just great! Really, thanks everyone. It was so much fun last night — and I think this is happening all over the country. I hate to let myself hope, but I think I actually am letting myself hope.
