Joe's got his finger on the pulse

Joe Lieberman demonstrates once again why I am contemptuous of him. From ThinkProgress we have two examples (incl. video) of how out-to-lunch he is:

Lieberman: "This Was Not a Major Realignment Election"

On Tuesday, Democrats picked up six seats in the Senate and at least 29 seats in the House, taking control of both chambers for the first time in 12 years. Not a single Democratic incumbent lost. Today on Meet the Press, Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-CT) said this was “not a major realignment election” and “both major political parties…[are] in a kind of probation.”

McCain and Lieberman Express Support For Sending More Troops to Iraq

Opposition to the Iraq war was the dominant factor in this week’s election. NBC’s Meet the Press invited Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) and Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-CT) to discuss the issue. Both McCain and Lieberman expressed support for sending more troops to Iraq.

Only 8 percent of Americans support sending more troops to Iraq. The other 92 percent were not represented this week on Meet the Press.
