From Indecision 2008…
In a speech Indecision 2008's St. Paul operatives could hardly bear to watch,
Republipendentocrat Joe Lieberman addressed the GOP convention last
night. This morning Talking Points Memo notes that Lieberman's remarks
included a sharp about-face on a promise he recently made…
I assure you this, Tom: I'm not gonna to go to that
convention — the Republican convention — and spend my time attacking
Barack Obama.
That was the elvish one making a guest appearance on Meet the Press
just a few weeks ago, assuring Tom Brokaw that his gnarled hands would
sling no mud. And this is what went down last night:
Lieberman attacked Obama's rhetoric, saying "eloquence is no substitute for a record."
"In the Senate, [Obama] has not reached across party lines to get
anything significant done, nor has he been willing to take on powerful
interest groups in the Democratic Party," Lieberman said in his speech.
Joe Lieberman pulling a political 180 in public? Who'd've thunk it?
On the other hand, in some ways Lieberman has the moral high ground
here: as a Senator he has reached across – nay, crawled across – party
lines to get many significant things done, such as creating an economy
for my vast reserves of gnome jokes.
