Who asks: "So what exactly is this post complaining about........that Lieberman isn't Lamont?"
That is not what this post is complaining about.
Start at the title of the post: "Things that don't exist in Harry Reid's world".
The post is complaining about the fact that, for Harry Reid, issues like "...eavesdropping, habeus corpus, telecom amnesty and torture" do not exist.
This post uses Reid's comments about Lieberman as a means to an end. The end is to illustrate that some issues, issues Glenn feels very strongly about, are not important issues to the Senate Majority Leader.
Shooter242 also says: "Believe it or not, saying nice things about a potential ally is more effective than vilifying them in print on a regular basis."
Saying things that are true is usally better than saying things that are false. Reid could avoid vilifying Lieberman, a move Glenn has not called for, by not saying anything at all about Lieberman. Or he could say something non-committal. Or he could say that Lieberman votes with the Democrats on more issues than not.
There is in fact alot of room between "saying nice things" and "vilifying them in print on a regular basis."
This point is, come to think of it, not very subtle.
