Sen. Joseph Lieberman appears to be paying a high price for his embrace of Sen. John McCain in the presidential race. This is the highest disapproval rating in any Quinnipiac University poll in any state for a sitting U.S. Senator - except for New Jersey's Robert Torricelli, just before he resigned in 2002. Among those who say they voted for Sen. Lieberman in 2006, 30 percent now say they would vote for someone else if they could.
Nate is predicting a Franken lead at the end of the day. Oh Nate, whatever happened to us?
Andrew Sullivan makes the case for Rick Warren and moral legitimacy. I have to say, it's persuasive. It does make me think that we need to reconsider our knee-jerk reactions as Democrats and start to develop a new paradigm for governing and good citizenship.
I don't have a strong opinion yet about Caroline Kennedy except on the personal level I really like her. But I do have a problem with political dynasties and the established party system. Barack almost didn't make it to the Illinois Senate because of cronyism and all that sh**. However, she is a true progessive and that makes me happy.
Finally, I'm really not sure what to say about the auto bailout, BofA layoffs, California's budget disaster, Madoff's house of cards, or that our new Veep thinks the economy is "tanking". I'm just going to ignore this nightmare and enjoy the holidays. Luckily, our current president keeps opening his big, stupid mouth and reminding all of us, on his way out, how grateful we should be for our new President--concern about Cabinet picks aside.
Can you imagine Barack saying that being president made him sleepy?:
In the interview, Bush said he did not regret his wartime decisions.
"I was a wartime President and war is very exhausting. War is hard for a country. And, you know, I made the decision that we were going to win.
