Chris, I think you actually meant "Lieberman is an enema."

If I am wrong I apologize.

How long since his last exorcism?

Maybe he can exorcise some demoncrats!

I would be completely surprised if Joe Lieberman does not harbor deep resentment that Obama is the Democratic candidate for president. Let us not forget that Joe had some pretty strong ambitions in this area, and did spectacularly poorly in his own dash to the Oval Office (remember Joementum?).

So here comes this young whippersnapper with only 4 years in the Senate, grabbing the biggest brass ring of all and...a schwarzer yet!

I think Joe is boiling over with resentment, and I think that partly, but not entirely, explains his behavior towards Obama. The other part is just rank arrogance and ambition, and a very myopic view of Israel's place in the Middle East.

Right now Lieberman's overriding concern is to help McCain win so he can become a cabinet member, most likely Secretary of Defense, though God knows he is abysmally qualified for the job. That means he will be as sleazy as he has to be the make that happen.

As SecDef his overarching goal is to destroy Iran and make trouble in the Middle East. Peace in the Middle East is the last thing he wants. He is an extremely dangerous man.

I have read people who compared Lieberman to Iago (Shakepeare's Othello), and I agree that is an apt comparison.

Disgruntled Hillary supporters who say they will vote for McCain will cut off their nose to spite their face.

“There are estimates and, I don’t know if they’re true or not, that there are going to be a couple of vacancies on the Supreme Court in the next presidential term. I am proud to have played a role in the appointment of some great justices to the Court. I am very proud to have played a role in the appointment, nomination of two great Supreme Court justices Roberts and Alito," McCain said.

For Obama change is an electoral process. As such it will not happen overnight, not even with two consecutive Obama administrations. You have to begin somewhere, and Obama's revolution is to bring young people into the process who are not protest oriented but who want to make their influence felt. If Obama does it right, he may make politics a respectable profession again. That is real change.

Must see video. Obama talks to his campaign team in Chicago. Inspiring.

So, win, lose, or draw, Hillary is still the big story at TPM. In the meantime, Obama gave a stirring talk to his campaign workers at Chicago, and not a peep out of TPM.

Very inspiring.

God, I wish TPM had a preview feature! Otherwise I would not have said "feminists who want him in office." Most feminists do NOT want McCain in office. I was referring to a small group of feminists who believe that Obama cheated Hillary out of the nomination through sexism. I apologize to feminists at large.

But I repeat, if TPM wants to play in the big leagues, blogwise, they need to update their posting capability on include Preview and Edit. Thanks, to TPM anyway for a great job up to now. Keep improving.
