This, after LIEberman's spokesman had alerady described the chat as "private and friendly."

***

In a brief but animated Senate floor confrontation last week, according to a campaign aide who asked for anonymity when talking about private discussions, Obama told Lieberman he was surprised by Lieberman's personal attacks and his half-hearted denials of the false rumors that Obama is a Muslim. (The aide says Lieberman was "strangely muted" during the exchange; a Lieberman spokesman says the chat was "private and friendly.") McCain spokeswoman Jill Hazelbaker says Lieberman "played a key role in reaching out to the Jewish community in the primary … and you can expect that will continue."

6. Wouldn't you think Lieberman would be too embarrassed to let the real reason

as to why Sen Obama had that umm private little chat with him the other day? Earlier this morning while tuning into CNN they had the TelePrompter that read for quite some time that Sen Obama berated Lieberman for his praising of Mccain...they did not mention it out-loud, it was just in print sitting there on the tv for quite some time..strange..
