During his 2004 presidential campaign, Joe Lieberman was the one Democrat, I told my Mrs. Marathon Pundit, who wouldn't make me want to stick my head in an oven if he defeated Bush.
With the exception of a few unfortunate comments he made about the "unfairness" of the 2000 Florida recount, Joe's always acted in a first-class manner in my book.
Of course if people like me, like Lieberman, then the Huffington Post wing of the Democratic party naturally hates him.
Well that was proven earlier tonight when Ned Lamont defeated the three term senator in the Democratic primary in Connecticut.
Lieberman will run as an independent in November, as he promised to do a couple of months ago if he lost in the primary.
He's got an uphill climb ahead of him--Lieberman didn't lose by much, but Lamont has the entire party apparatus behind him now.
In Georgia, Cynthia McKinney, a mentally unbalanced congresswoman from Georgia, was defeated in her Democratic primary. In addition to her history of anti-Semitic comments, McKinney claimed President Bush had prior knowledge of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. She drew unwelcome attention to herself in March for assaulting a US Capitol police officer.
Thankfully, the people of Atlanta and its southern suburbs had the sense to throw McKinney out of Congress.
