Even Jonathan Chiat wants Republican Stooge Lieberman to quit
And he says so in the LA Times today.
THE LONGER Sen. Joe Lieberman's reelection campaign in Connecticut goes on, the harder it gets to detect any rationale for his candidacy that's persuasive to anybody who isn't Joe Lieberman.Aside from the cheap shot at bloggers, JC pretty much gets it right. He does fail to mention the good wishes of Republican Stooge Lieberman's "kissing cousin", Our Dear Embattled Leader himself.
When he announced earlier this summer that he would run as an independent if he lost the Democratic primary, his stated reason was that turnout was likely to be tiny. Instead, turnout was heavy. But Lieberman says he's running as an independent anyway.
Lieberman says his antiwar opponent, Ned Lamont, relied on the support of Al Sharpton, demagogic bloggers and other unsavory characters. This is perfectly true. But Lieberman is just as happy to accept the good wishes of odious figures such as Sean Hannity and Karl Rove.
