Why the Left Is Furious at Lieberman; Iraq is only a part

I was thinking more John Kennedy Toole's Ignatius..

A green hunting cap squeezed the top of the fleshy balloon of a head. The green earflaps, full of large ears and uncut hair and the fine bristles that grew in the ears themselves, stuck out on either side like turn signals indicating two directions at once. Full, pursed lips protruded beneath the bushy black moustache and, at their corners, sank into little folds filled with disapproval and potato chip crumbs. In the shadow under the green visor of the cap Ignatius J. Reilly's supercilious blue and yellow eyes looked down upon the other people waiting under the clock at the D.H. Holmes department store, studying the crowd of people for signs of bad taste in dress. Several outfits, Ignatius noticed, were new enough and expensive enough to be properly considered offenses against taste and decency. Possession of anything new or expensive only reflected a person's lack of theology and geometry; it could even cast doubts upon one's soul. [..]

Shifting from one hip to the other in his lumbering, elephantine fashion, Ignatius sent waves of flesh rippling beneath the tweed and flannel, waves that broke upon buttons and seams. Thus rearranged, he contemplated the long while that he had been waiting for his mother. Principally he considered the discomfort he was beginning to feel. It seemed as if his whole being was ready to burst from his swollen suede desert boots [..]. He was prepared to offer the sight of those bulging boots to his mother as evidence of her thoughtlessness. [..] Already he was polishing a few carefully worded accusations designed to reduce his mother to repentance or, at least, confusion. He often had to keep her in her place.

Nimh- I have worked in American Politics. You have not! I can tell you that polls seven weeks before the election are almost useless!!!

Is that why, even just in the past month, you have posted or referred to polls yourself here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here and here?

(Thats 15 times if you're counting - an average of once every two days.)

His campaign manager, Tom Swan, did not address the content of the message, but said in response: "It is clear that Senator Lieberman would prefer to try to cloud Ned's statements from eight years ago, instead of talking about the important issues of national security, the war in Iraq and health care. It is shocking to see that his Senate staff, at taxpayer expense, is spending their time trying to make up dirt on Ned Lamont."

Yes, as I am crouching I can ask Nimh to osculate me here and here and here and here and here and here and here!

And my answer is:

Lieberman accused Lamont of flip-flopping on Iraq: "Three different positions, in three different places on three different days. That's quite a feat." [..]

"And so, one might say that he praised me before he criticized me," Lieberman said. "I couldn't resist that one."
