Joe Attacks NYT For Endorsing Lamont
Today's NYT endorsement is really getting under Lieberman's skin (not that that's very difficult to do). Earlier this morning, Joe petulantly accused the Times editorial board of not understanding his position on Iraq:
But Joe's campaign just said he'd vote to authorize the war again today:
What's so hard to understand here?
"I don't believe that they've ever really understood my position on Iraq," he said after he attended a church service Sunday. "I mean, this is all about Iraq. They're not giving me credit for anything else I've done, including a lot of stuff that they've complimented me on over the years, on the environment, other things, global warming."
But Joe's campaign just said he'd vote to authorize the war again today:
On Iraq, Lieberman now tries to steer the debate away from the wisdom of the original decision to invade, a vote that Gerstein said Lieberman does not regret and would cast again.
What's so hard to understand here?

Joe just doens't like being embarrassed in front of a national audience. Most of the other fawning mainstream press has given Lieberman press releases and polling data which suggests the race is a foregone conclusion, and already gone on to writing condescending pieces on why Ned never had a chance, and so on. To their credit, the NY Times disregards all that and endorses Lamont anyway as the better candidate. Joe repeats his mantra "that it's all about Iraq" [a blatant lie] and they ignore him. It's much, much more than that, Senator.
