Letters to the Editor

This letter is associated with the following article:
Despised by Democratic liberals for his unrepentant support of the Iraq war, Joe Lieberman is facing a tough fight from antiwar newcomer Ned Lamont.
  • Beltway nonsense, Mr. Shapiro

    Boo-hoo for Holy Joe. But tell it to the families of our 2,500 dead.

    Lieberman voted to end debate on Alito, the only vote that mattered. It pains

    me to see you accept the nonsense that he voted "against" him. Given the fact

    that Alito was a sure thing without a filibuster, Lieberman's final vote was

    meaningless, as bad as those "moderate" hand-wringing Republicans Chafee, Snowe

    and Collins, who talk a good game then bow to their master Rove.

    Apart from that issue, the liberal blogosphere "forgives" Byrd and others

    because unlike Joe, they will never be found yukking it up with SEAN HANNITY,

    for God's sake ... kissing that disgusting Bush ... being the FIRST SENATOR OF

    EITHER PARTY to rise during the State of the Union as Bush lied about Iraq ...

    going on Fox to tell the country what's wrong with ... the DEMOCRATS.

    It's not about voting records. It's the fact this man simply doesn't fight for

    the party, and often attacks it, furthering the GOP spin at every turn.

    And let's not forget his "short ride" comment about hospitals, rape victims and

    the morning-after pill. A short ride. How dare he utter such a thing.
