Let us contemplate the badness of Joe Lieberman.
Who would have thought that this holiday season wed be obsessed with the senator from Connecticut? Really, I was hoping it would be more about shopping for mittens on the Internet.
Liebermans apparently successful attempt to hijack health care reform and hold it hostage until it had been amended into something that liberals couldnt stomach has mesmerized the nations political class. This was, after all, a guy who has been a liberal on domestic issues since he was a college student campaigning for John F. Kennedy. A guy who was in favor of the public option, of expanding Medicare eligibility, until last week.
The theories about Why Joe Is Doing It abound. We cannot get enough of them! I have decided to start a rumor that it all goes back to the 2004 presidential race, when Lieberman not only failed to win any primaries, but was also bitten by either a rabid muskrat or a vampire disguised as a moose.
Other than that, my favorite explanation comes from Jonathan Chait of The New Republic, who theorized that Lieberman was able to go from Guy Who Wants to Expand Medicare to Guy Who Would Rather Kill Health Care Than Expand Medicare because he isnt actually all that smart.

LOL! So this is what frothing derangement looks like up close !
Good. The Dems and Libs and Lefties are beginning to eat their own. All the GOP has to do is hang back and occasionally hand them a napkin.
Also, Gail needs to go to the Dentist, badly. All those working brunches sipping coffee and smoking cigarettes has really messed up her teeth.
Dear Gail Collins (is this a she or a he?) please study the following: PAYBACK IS A BITCH!! If you didn’t know this, how is it you are a paid “JOURNALIST”? This old adage is well known on every elementary school yard in the country, and has been practiced since time began. Was the subject not covered at the ivy leaque academy you attended? If not, please call your lawyer and prepare a lawsuit against your alma mater for false advertising. You are a purposefully confused lying libtard. Do not waste our time with your contorted expectation that a man you personnally sought to destroy, might just seek to even the score with you on something you really want. What a child. Do you really think the world is fair Gail? If so, please explain the presence of the halfrican as pres—ent?
Perhaps Ms. Collins should have spent more on dentists and less on plastic surgery. She’s 65.
