Clear Thinking on Lieberman

Joe Lieberman's rant this morning in the Washington Post was a finger in the eye of Connecticut voters. In effect he told them, "Yes, I lied about wanting to end the war in Iraq. But I'm good for another six years and there's nothing you can do about it." The conservative editorial boards that endorsed him all have egg on their faces.

But at least one publication, the New Haven Register, published a few words of sane commentary regarding Lieberman this morning. They reprinted an editorial titled "Joe Rewrites History" from Wednesday's Minneapolis Star Tribune.

The editorial characterizes Lieberman's call for a "war Cabinet" a "grating performance". It criticizes Lieberman, saying he "has become and obsequious irritant with his 'war Cabinet' idea", and termed his call for a "war Cabinet" at a pre-holidays press conference "a grating performance". Regarding Lieberman's assertion that politicians "ignore the common national interest" on Iraq, the editorial says: "That's a grotesque reading of the past three years."

Well worth the read.

enjoy the strib while you can - it's been sold (0.00 / 0)

thomashooker, sue posted this excellent editorial here a few days ago.

The sad thing is, the strib has been sold to a company that knows, er "jack" about newspapers. You'll understand the choice of terms when you read the article about exactly who bought the Star Tribune and at least one opinion on why it was sold.

Thanks for filling me in. Sorry I didn't see Sue's post. Apropos of acquirers, who will purchase the Tribune Publishing properties in CT? Greenwich Time is up for sale.
