As many ways as I want to make of this, I can’t. My fingers are too big for this Blackberry keyboard. Regardless, Yahoo News does a great job as editorial smartass, so, let me copy that here:
Senator Joe Lieberman will finally come clean on Monday, unleashing his inner-Republican to endorse the struggling campaign of Senator John McCain, according to several news reports. It is a bittersweet alliance for both men. Lieberman’s move confirms his critics’ longtime argument that he is a “Democrat in Name Only,” while McCain looks desperate by leaning on backers beyond the G.O.P. base in the homestretch of a partisan primary.
The Politico first reported that Lieberman will “cross the aisle” to back McCain on Monday’s edition of the “Today” show. As an independent, however, Lieberman was already standing in the aisle. The article says the joint appearance is “an effort to draw attention to the McCain campaign, which needs a splash. Otherwise, it does not make sense for McCain because it will only remind core Republicans why they distrust him.” The pair also have a long history together, having cosponsored the Iraq War resolution, Climate Change legislation, and lobbying disclosure reforms.
Now, Democratic America, listen up … Lieberman used to be on a DEMOCRATIC presidential ticket … remember? He used to be the backup guy, the Democratic choice to replace the president if President Gore was mauled to death during a polar bear rescue (you know if would have happened).
So … WTF? You know what I mean? Be careful, Democratic America, be very careful when you vote in your primaries and/or caucuses this next year.
