Lieberman is the perfect front man for rationalizing collective punishment, post-Constitutional excesses of The Surveillance State, and whatever other imperial atrocities are sure to come.
When Obama's bombs, missiles and bullets are raining down on the heads of collateral damage prospects in neighborhoods throughout Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Lieberman will be making the rounds in one TV studio after another, soberly explaining the moral imperative behind murdering men, women and children with our tax dollars. Get ready for your ritual verbal beat-down, Democrats, because you'll be getting one every Sunday courtesy of Joe Lieberman and your Democratic victors.
Obama doesn't work for you. He works for telecom companies. He works for The Pentagon. He works for Wall Street. In fact, he works for everyone except you.
P.S. To the letter writers here: Can we dispense with the spineless characterizations? Democratic officeholders spitting in the faces of Democratic voters is not spinelessness. Tolerating it is.
