OMG, does Lanny Davis imagine he's talking to developmentally-challenged five year olds? The cocktail-weenie Democrats are getting muy desesperado to recast history to make Joementum not be the enabler of Beloved Leader that he is.
On NBC's "Meet the Press," meanwhile, a supporter of Mr. Lieberman, Lanny Davis, sought to explain a statement the senator made last December that Mr. Lamont's supporters have used against him. In those remarks, Mr. Lieberman said it was "time for Democrats who distrust President Bush to acknowledge that he will be the commander in chief for three more critical years and that, in matters of war, we undermine presidential credibility at our nation's peril."
Noting that Mr. Lieberman had gone on to criticize the Bush administration's handling of the war on many occasions, Mr. Davis said on NBC that his friend had not been referring only to Democrats.
"That comment was made about exploiting the war politically," he said. "He was referring as well to Republicans, trying to use the war on terrorism for electing purposes."
Mr. Davis added, "I think if he had to do it all over again, he wouldn't have used those words."
I'm not quite sure how Mr. Davis thinks that Kissin' Joe was talking to republicans too, when he specifically made his comments referring to Democrats. I don't recall reading it phrased as Democrats and "republicans with buyer's remorse". I really, really want to know how that phrase can be contorted to make Davis' point, without the use of psychodelics.
Lieberman's only sorry that he used those words now because he's in the political fight of his life. There has been no point in the last six years where he has not backed up that assertion with both his words and his deeds from his enabling of the Bankruptcy bill to enabling the elevation of Samuel Alito the Supreme Court as a proud member of the "gang of 14", whose Democratic component is less in the vein of Patrick Henry, Thomas Jefferson and Ben Franklin and more in the mold of Neville Chamberlain and Vidkun Quisling.
Joe's Gotta Go!
