You have to wonder what it would be like to be Joe Lieberman. Only three years ago he was the Democratic Party's choice for Vice President, and enjoyed all the national attention such an honor entails. Now the only way he can get sucked up to is to go on Fox News and offer up made-to-order fibs about his former party.Lieberman just went on Fox and gave an extended interview in which he repeatedly suggested that Dems won't acknowledge any progress of any kind in Iraq. "It’s time that everybody including Democratic candidates get off this storyline," Lieberman said.

The key point here is that the falsehood Lieberman is telling here is critical to the GOP's last-ditch efforts to prevent support for the war from dribbling away completely. The game plan is to misrepresent what the Dem position has been, in order to (a) paint Dems as churlishly refusing to acknowledge the military's hard-won gains; and (b) conflate the military progress we've seen with the political progress that was always the goal and that still remains elusive.
Senator Lieberman, Fox News thanks you for your devoted service -- and hereby rewards you with the attention you crave.

Good old Joemendacious, the concern sockpuppet of the Grand Old Parasites.
If he told me humans breathe air, I'd get a second opinion.
It was so fun for Joe when he was being courted by both sides of the aisle, but now...it's hard when a whore gets old.
Seven years ago, not three. (Oh... I note TPM has fixed it now.) It seems a lifetime ago either way.
In a galaxy far far away and in another time zone. It was many lifetimes ago, Steve, and many broken hearts.
Would that we had a reset button....
