Matt Taibbi nailed it...just right

Of the million-and-one things written about the Lamont/Lieberman battle, I think this has to be one of the most to-the-point editorials yet.

Here is his editorial from Rolling Stone Magazine and a few "snippets" for your enjoyment:

"If the people of Connecticut are good enough to send me back to Washington . . . " he began, "I promise them I will keep fighting for the same progressive new ideas and for stronger national security . . . "

At the words progressive new ideas I couldn't help myself and let out a little laugh, recalling Lieberman's determination to yank funding from public schools that counseled suicidal teens that it was OK to be gay. Was that the kind of progressive idea he was talking about? I really did try to muffle it, but it was too late -- a middle-aged woman with big dangly earrings in a Lieberman T-shirt whipped around and glared at me.

Read the whole thing....it's worth it...
