Joe Liberman: hometown boy

The Norwalk (CT) Democrat page ^ | 1/1/01 | Norwalk Democrat Paper and Almanack of American Politics

"Joseph Lieberman in a decade in the Senate has exerted influence out of proportion to his seniority, committee position or political clout, an influence that came from respect for his independence of mind, civility of spirit and fidelity to causes in which he believes." Almanac of American Politics

Just caught this while surfing, and, after I stopped laughing, thought Freepers ought to see how Lieberman is portrayed locally. The italics are mine, since this statement seemed particularly specious in view of LIEberman's pandering and waffling as the Democrat's 2000 Vice Presidential candidate. Perhaps the Almanac of American Politics ought to update its biographies.

LIEberman flip-flopped on School choice, vouchers, affirmative action...he has no home, except in liberal connecticut...

LOL!! Agreed... If Joe (A.K.A. Willie Tanner from the '80's TV Series "ALF") showed the same fidelity to his wife that he's showed to his policies, he'd make Gary Condit (D-CA) blush...

Wonder what his take on the illegal aliens is?

[vrwinger]

He's probabaly "for" them, provided they stay out of site of Mr. & Mrs. Ochmonek...

[vrwinger]

or, out of "sight" of the Ochmonek's (There's my public skool educashun showing again...)
