Joe Lieberman

Atrios has a interview with smokin Joe on MSNBC:

MS. MITCHELL: Well, let's take a look also at the American support for this. When we looked at our NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll, again, as to whether or not all this was worth it, a majority, 51 percent, feel that removing Saddam Hussein was not worth the casualties and the billions that we spent.

So, Joe Lieberman, have we lost the American people?

SEN. LIEBERMAN: We're in danger of losing too many of them. I mean, here's where we are now. Our military is performing brilliantly, courageously and with a real sense of purpose. They know the importance of what they're doing. The Iraqis now have their own government, a very balanced representative, not elected, but a lot of credibility among the Iraqi people. The country is getting up and running, and I think the real challenge to us who are in positions of leadership in America on a bipartisan basis is to make the case to the American people about why it is important to pull together and win this post-Saddam war in Iraq. And why if we do and when we do, our children and our grandchildren are going to live a lot safer lives than otherwise. So I don't want to go through another circumstance where division at home deprives America and the world of a victory over terrorists who hate us more than they love life.

MS. MITCHELL: Well...

SEN. LIEBERMAN: These are the very same people who attacked us on September 11.

No surprise here, make no mistake Joe Lieberman is a neo-con just as much as Perle and Wolfowitz. The above drivel should surprise no one. He is the Senator from Israel and let's be honest, the Iraq war was in Israel's best interest.

John Edwards

Kerry's choice, from a political view a good one. It gives the campaign something it was missing, energy and charisma. The election will be won in the middle and Edwards helps there. I was amused that the pundits on CNBC were saying that business will be opposed to Edwards because he is a trial lawyer. So What!!!, they weren't going to vote for Kerry anyway.

Upadate

This is pretty funny, hey Rupert, remember "Dewey Beats Truman"!!!!
