CT-SEN: Lieberman to be Honored by Neocons Tonight

He once said "some of my best friends are neocons." And those friends are honoring him tonight at the Mayflower Hotel in Washington, D.C.

Sens. Lieberman and Kyl (R-AZ), honorary co-chairs of the resurrected Committee on the Present Danger, will reportedly be honored with the group's first annual "statesman award" tonight:

"The Statesman Award will be given each year to a person or persons who have exemplified statesmanship and thoughtful leadership in support of the nation's security. Senators Lieberman and Kyl certainly fit that description," said R. James Woolsey, co-Chairman of the Committee.

Who is this group? An Alternet article from 2004 sheds some light:

Chaired by former CIA director James Woolsey, the reborn Committee has 49 members in all, including many well known hawks and neoconservatives affiliated with the American Enterprise Institute (Jeanne Kirkpatrick, Danielle Pletka, Joshua Muravchik, Laurie Mylroie, Newt Gingrich, Michael Rubin), former Attorney General Edwin Meese, Victor Davis Hanson of Stanford's Hoover Institution, Norm Podhoretz of Commentary fame, Charles Kupperman of Boeing Missile Defense Systems, former Reagan official Jack Kemp, former Congressional staffer-turned-lobbyist and Project for the New American Century board member Randy Scheunemann; and several anti-arms control hawks - Henry Cooper, Jim Woolsey himself, Kenneth Adelman, Max Kampelman - reminiscent of the Committee's earlier two incarnations.

1. What a neocon lovefest!

I agree with the war criminal Woolsey when he says that "Senators Lieberman and Kyl certainly fit that description." What a pair of turds!

2. I hope Ned Lamont can make political hay out of this.

Lieberman apparently still doesn't "get" that this kind of crap is exactly why people are completely disgusted and revolted by him.

[Guaranteed]

8. Well, you'd sure think he'd be able to. nt

3. Mark my word, nearly every Dem senator will be backing Joe in the Primary

Tragic. Disgusting. But true.

[IndianaGreen]

4. But they don't get to vote in the primary

and their support for a member of their club will be seen for what it is.

[Tom Joad]

5. That's the good news!

[Jacobin]

6. What a slithering slimeball

I thank gawd every day that he didn't get elected vice president. He is WORSE than republican neo-cons because he's hiding his agenda.

7. And I thought Zell Miller was the biggest POS

until now!

[Robbien]

9. Anyone surprised by this?

Joementum's foreign policy stance is a carbon copy of the neo-con's.

10. PNAC neocons are the flip side of the PPI neoliberal coin

They are both two flavors of imperialism and globalism.
