Lieberman - McCain's new spokesman?

http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/03/20/789776.aspx

<snip>

When BBC News asked McCain to speak about critical comments made about him as being the same as Bush on foreign policy, the Arizona senator politely declined to answer. "I won't discuss this other issue because that's not the purpose of our visit. I am here as a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee and looking and discussing those issues concerning our nation's defense and security, with all due respect."

Lieberman, who we noted earlier has turned into McCain's overseas MVP, later interrupted to give his two cents on the issue. "I would just, may I say very briefly as a colleague and long time co-worker and friend, Senator McCain is a consistent and steadfast internationalist on matters both diplomatic and economic, and environmental."

"He is also, as we say in the US, a straight talker," Lieberman continued. "He has never hesitated to disagree with his friends and allies and certainly with those who don't support him when he thinks they are not serving the national interest. And his early advocacy for American leadership on the problem of global warming is probably the best recent examples of that. So he, he does it his way."

and mccain was at the podium and both times, lieberman whispered in his ear while mccain was talking. I found the sight quite disgusting.

6. What scares me is that Lieberman was elected Vice President of the US.
:scared:

I think Gore could have kept him in check, but you never know.

:scared:

8. so what has he been promised? Certainly not the VP.
Attorney General? He was in CT.

A Secretary position? But which one?

not State - that would not work.

nor Defense . . .
