Letter from Washington: Lieberman is an inconvenient Democrat
By Steven Thomma

McClatchy Newspapers

Snip...

He's getting none from Gore.

Gore says he doesn't get involved in primaries.

Snip...

"I don't have anything to say about Al Gore's sense of loyalty," Lieberman said at the time. "I have no regrets about the loyalty that I had to him."

Snip...

Lieberman also isn't getting any help from fellow senator and 2004 presidential nominee John Kerry, D-Mass. Kerry wants to run for president again in 2008. He, too, would need antiwar activists on his side, and he's pushing for a phased withdrawal of U.S. troops.

Kerry's aides also say he tries not to get involved in primaries.

Snip...

Pausing outside a Connecticut diner the other day, Lieberman refused to criticize the men with whom he shared some of the rarest bonds in politics yet who refuse to stand with him in his hour of political peril.

Of Gore, he said with a smile, "he said some nice things about me and my wife."

Of Kerry, he said, "Kerry and I go back a long way. But we're headed in different directions."

1. LOL! What is he, breaking up with him?

Why do I feel sure Senator Kerry will have no trouble getting over this?

4. Hahaha.

"It's not you, John. It's me."
Yikes! Hope he doesn't try kissing him. He's got a history of that sort of thing.

2. Another person thinking that personal loyalty is more important than

issues. The Lieberman whining is getting on my nerves. I guess by that, he means he is heading in the arms of the Republicans.

3. This is a good thing! Dems hate him so much right now.
