The Case Against Joe Lieberman

I think Amy Sullivan sums it up pretty nicely, here:

Regardless, it's important to remember that Lieberman himself has done his best to derail the Democratic Party's bids for power.

First, he was out early and often lambasting Clinton for the Lewinsky mess, providing ample fodder for the party's eager opposition. Then there was his disgusting performance as a VP candidate, culminating in his love-fest "debate" with Dick Cheney and his early capitulation in Florida. Oh yeah - remember those devastating Enron hearings that had the potential to really rattle Bush and his cronies? Yep - I don't either. We've got good ol' Joe to thank for that feckless non-move too - apparently his own pockets were too lined with Kenny-Boy's fake finances to get him up and moving on the worst financial scandal in the nation's history.
