WASHINGTON -- There's a veneer of serenity to Joe Lieberman in these final days before he makes his White House bid official. But beneath the calm is a man still framing, still wrestling with, how to explain and market the biggest decision of his life.

Though the Connecticut Democrat talks expansively about why he wants to be president, his syntax and his logic are often labored. He is still developing his rationale for running. He is still trying to prepare for critics who will say he's on too many sides of too many issues, that he's too thin-skinned and unwilling to dirty himself in the political mud.

He talks to party sages such as Carter, with whom he talked last week, former Vice President Walter F. Mondale, Clinton - and Gore. They communicated by e-mail last week, and Lieberman hopes to speak with him early next year. "It will not be in a hot tub, either," Lieberman laughs, referring to a sketch involving Gore and a Lieberman stand-in on the Dec. 14 "Saturday Night Live."

Too bad. The hot water might soften his hemmorhoids.

Does Joe think he really stands a chance?

It concern me that Joe's face may finish melting off before the election.

Let's see, Jimmy Carter, Michael Dukakis, Adlai Stevenson, Walter Mondale, George McGovern, Hubert Humphrey, Al Gore...and Joe Lieberman.

Sure. Works for me.

God! The thought of that whiney voice on the bully pulpit is enough to make me hurl!
