Kerry Calls Lieberman the New Cheney
2006-08-20
From Drudge, link will eventually change.
In an exclusive appearance on "This Week with George Stephanopoulos", Senator John Kerry, D-Mass., blasted fellow Democrat Senator Joe Lieberman for continuing his bid in the Connecticut Senate race despite a narrow loss to newcomer challenger Ned Lamont in the Democratic primary earlier this month.

"I'm concerned that (Lieberman) is making a Republican case," Kerry told ABC News, accusing the 2000 Democratic vice presidential candidate of "adopting the rhetoric of Dick Cheney," on the issue of Iraq. Kerry continued, "Joe Lieberman is out of step with the people of Connecticut," insisting Liberman's stance on Iraq, "shows you just why he got in trouble with the Democrats there."
Joe also has a near-perfect liberal rating on everything domestic, and the people of his state seem to like him.
Kerry called the Connecticut Senator's Independent bid a "huge mistake" and applauded businessman-turned-politician as "courageous" for challenging Lieberman on the war. Of his own views on Iraq, Kerry stated forthrightly, "The course of this country in Iraq is making the world more dangerous."
Thank gawd we didn't elect this idjit.

Kerry and forthright shouldn't be used in the same sentence - ever.

Lieberman should publicly thank Kerry for the compliment.

#8  It is obvious that Lieberman's continuing the Senate race as an independent is sticking in Kerry's and the Dem's craw.

#4  I live in CT and Lieberman is not the nice quiet-but-dull guy he seems -- he's as jackass mean and vindictive as any of 'em -- and he's ready to stick it up his party's ass and break it off.

#3  How much is the Dark Lord Rove paying these clowns to bad-mouth Lieberman in order to boost his poll numbers even more?
