<p>When New Jersey Democrats recycled Frank Lautenberg following Sen. Bob Torricelli's flameout, they probably thought personal integrity had been put to bed as an issue. Wrong.</p>
<p>On Friday, no doubt reading from a script prepared by poll-obsessed Dems like Tom Daschle, Lautenberg backed a resolution giving President Bush the authority to act against Iraq. And, in so doing, he repudiated his own 18-year Senate record on national-security issues. Not that it didn't deserve repudiation.</p>
