Lieberman in Disarray

I'm glad that instead of the typical Democrats in disarray meme, the press decided to run a piece more characteristic of the real situation:

Senate Minority Leader Harry M. Reid (D-Nev.) is troubled by Lieberman's comments, Reid's aides said. "I've talked to Senator Lieberman, and unfortunately he is at a different place on Iraq than the majority of the American people," Reid said yesterday.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) told reporters this week that "I completely disagree" with Lieberman. She added: "I believe that we have a responsibility to speak out if we think that the course of action that our country is on is not making the American people safer, making our military stronger and making the region more stable."


I think the underlying current of what is being said and reported is that the Democratic party is finally finding its place; what it will stand united for and against, and it is overwhelmingly clear that Lieberman is a Fox News Democrat, like Zell Miller, and out of touch with his party and base. If Dick Cheney (vice president - pro torture) agrees with you on anything, especially a false war that was a failure from day one,

Although some Democrats are upset with Mr. Lieberman, Republicans are embracing him, with President Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney and Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld singling him out, and his support for the war, for praise in speeches this week.

"He is entirely correct," Mr. Cheney said on Tuesday at Fort Drum, N.Y. "On this, both Republicans and Democrats should be able to agree. The only way the terrorists can win is if we lose our nerve and abandon our mission."

You know there is something very wrong with your position. Except Joe does not. Allow me to clarify: Joe Lieberman is associating himself with people who aggressively promote torture. What would Holy Joe know about that...
