Was Lieberman in Skull and Bones?

[bluestateguy]

Do they accept Jews?

1. now they do

Not sure if they did in the early 60's when Lieberman must've gone there.

he doesn't look like Skull and Bones material to me

3. nope

They were on the wrong side of the ovens.

5. What, pray tell, does Skull and Bones material look like?

I suppose if they accepted people based on merit, Lieberman would have been a lock. He was editor of the Yale Daily . He was actively involved in the civil rights movement. And he got elected to the state senate only a few years after graduating from law school (a certain future president worked on his campaign). But yeah, I guess he just didn't look like Skull and Bones material.

6. BTW...

Who was that "certain future president"?

[dolstein]

9. Bill Clinton

He worked on Lieberman's successful campaign for the Connecticut state senate.

2. Kerry and Bush were Skull and Bones

I seriously doubt they admitted Jews back in the 6Os. Lieberman's working class background was also a big strike against him. Besides, I can't imagine the editor of the Yale Daily wanting any part of a secret society.

4. Fundamentalist Christians

I think is how they define themselves. Can't say for sure about accepting Jews.

What I've always wondered is, if they're such a secret society, how is it everybody knows about them? :shrug:

10. skull & bones material?

Looks like me. I was in S&B, but not at Yale. At a public university (wouldn't those Yalie bonesmen just FREAK?!). And OUR Skull & Bones material looked like ... a big ole drinking club. We had the secret rituals, but nothing compared to these Yale clowns. We were just a bunch of student leaders who got together and drank beer and tried to come up with charity fundraiser ideas and occasionally talked about campus issues. But mostly drank beer!!! And had a really good time.
