Amazingly, the Corpse that is Lieberman 4 Lieberman is still behaving like the beaten zombie that it is... and his campaign manager, Dangerstein writes letters. There was even a laff line in his letter to the New York Times extolling Holier-than-Thou Joe's many accomplishments, to wit:
Conducted a tough, exhaustive investigation of the Bush Administration’s failures in responding to Katrina, which led to the passage of a comprehensive FEMA reform bill.
It appears, then, that Mike Brown suffered 42 breathtaking minutes of serious nothingness (unless Lieberman's withering questioning regarding whether Brown would sufficiently keep the Senate informed --- duh,yes) to become Deputy Director of FEMA. When FEMA was, just a few months later, subsumed into DHS, Brown didn't need to be Senate confirmed as his new position -- technically as Under Secretary of Homeland Security for Emergency Preparedness and Response -- was "germane" to his old position. Guess that's true. But it means that the four Senators who showed up to confirm a deputy director were, in fact, confirming the head of America's entire emergency management apparatus.
So Lieberman not doing his job the first time is supposed to make America feel better about him in the Mulligan round? As if.
