Lieberman Turncoat Watch

Posted on Wednesday 28 July 2004

An item in Wonkette grabbed my attention:

It seems that with the Democrats in [Boston] the only people “famous for Washington” left in town are either Republicans or their spawn. In this edition of Wonk’d, after the jump, are your sightings of political animals from both Boston and Washington, including The Bush Twins, Joe and Hadassah, GEORGE!, MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough, Eric Alterman and the, um, livelier half of the Bush Twins.

Lieberman’s in DC? I just assumed he would be here. Yes, I know he’s a conservative Democrat, and one who feels particularly alienated by the anti-war turn of the Party and the frosty reception he got during the primaries. But Kucinich is ideologically further from Kerry than Lieberman, and he’s speaking. What’s more, wasn’t it Lieberman who made a point of arguing that differences between the primary candidates were smaller than between Democrats and Republicans? Given the number of also-rans who have had to swallow failed dreams and fight back show of emotion this week, Lieberman’s absence speaks volumes of disgruntlement.

How much longer before he switches party affiliation? Or has this already been reported and I’m just miles behind the curve?

UPDATE: Never mind. I was mistaken.
