Hillary Stabs Lieberman
Hillary's finally taken
a firm position on something. Unfortunately for Joe Lieberman, it's the position that she won't support him if anti-war nut Ned Lamont beats him in the Democratic primary this August.

"I've known Joe Lieberman for more than 30 years. I have been pleased to support him in his campaign for re-election, and hope that he is our party's nominee," the former first lady said in a statement issued by aides. "But I want to be clear that I will support the nominee chosen by Connecticut Democrats in their primary," the New York Democrat added. "I believe in the Democratic Party, and I believe we must honor the decisions made by Democratic primary voters."This all sounds logical enough but I wonder if the reason for her decision isn't because Sen. Lieberman was one of the first people to attack then-President Clinton's affair with Monica Lewinsky. It isn't like the Clintons take getting attacked graciously. In fact, they've got a reputation for being plainly and openly cruel to anyone who crosses them.
"The challenges before us in 2006 call for a strong, united party, in which we all support and work for the candidates who are selected in the Democratic process," Clinton said in her statement Tuesday.I can think of alot of adjectives that describe the Democratic Party but strong and united aren't part of that list.
