Holy Joe was *never* “even-handedly principled.” One person I talked to who knew him as AG said Joe was always full of it.
The senator made it clear when running for re-election that was his position. Sen. Lieberman wants the United States military to remain in Iraq until the war is won, whatever that means.
Clear to who?!? Because *noone* wanted to “end the war” more than Torture Joe back then.
Yet he refused to end his association as an adviser to the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies, or even utter a word of criticism, when a spin-off group it created ran a series of misleading TV attack ads aimed at Democratic congressmen, including Connecticut’s own representatives, Joe Courtney and Chris Murphy.
At least they mention this. That’s good.
I don’t think this article is quite the mea culpa it should be, but it’s a start.
