Bill Clinton, who campaigned for Joe Lieberman was recently quoted thusly:

"But that's not quite right. That is, there were almost no Democrats who agreed with his position, which was, 'I want to attack Iraq whether or not they have weapons of mass destruction.'"

"His position is the Bush-Cheney-Rumsfeld position, which was, 'Does it matter if they have weapons? None of this matters. … This is a big, important priority, and 9/11 gives us the way of attacking and deposing Saddam.'"

With friends like these, who needs enemies? We all know that Bubba wants to be loved. So now one of Lieberman's supposed friends wants to throw him under the bus to get back his street-cred with the Lamont wing of the Democratic party. Joe had to water down many of his long-held positions just to share the dais with Al Gore in 2000. Maybe now, as an independent, he can get back to his more conservative roots -- unlike the party to which he used to claim allegiance.
