In a lead editorial, the Weekly Standard called on Bush to fire Rumsfeld and make Joe Lieberman secretary of defense.
. . . Rhapsodizes editor William Kristol, "Is it too fanciful to speculate about a 2008 ticket of McCain-Lieberman, or Guiliani-Lieberman ... ?"
In short, the Weekly Standard wishes to see, on a Republican ticket and a heartbeat away from the presidency, a proud liberal Democrat who supports partial-birth abortion, embryonic stem-cell research, gay rights, affirmative action, reparations for slavery, gun control, higher taxes on the top 2%, distribution of condoms in public schools and driver's licenses for illegal aliens.
I'm very interested to know what the hell their agenda is over at the Weekly Standard.
Like I said -- love him or hate him . . .
Yeah, PB is right on this one. The only time Lieberman has any semblance of conservatism is when he is supporting home state business interests (e.g. WOT, his meager defense of gun makers amidst otherwise terrible 2-A record, etc).
