Jolting Joe
Liberal Democrats are enraged at Joe Lieberman for supporting the Iraq war. But will attacking the Connecticut senator make the party stronger -- or alienate its moderates?
By Michelle Goldberg [2005-12-15]

  • Shameless and Shameful

    I am a moderate. The party will not alienate me by attacking and toppling Lieberman. I will cheer its spine.

    I still have not forgiven Lieberman, an Orthodox Jew, for attacking Bill Clinton over Monica Lewinsky. He publicly and disgracefully shamed the President, and Judaism teaches us that shaming a person is like a kind of murder. He helped create an environment in which anything could be said about the President, and was as despicable as the democratic Barons in the Senate who took on Clinton about gays in the military early in his first term.
