I didn't see the show, so I can't speak to the Israel question.
But what I came to say was, I think what Lieberman did and is doing wrong is not being frank about the fact that the war wasn't managed well. The Democrats generally seem to have a concensus on this fact, and he can't seem to decide whether he agrees. (Hopefully the Democratic concensus arises not from unquestioning distrust of anything handled by Republicans but through empirical observation; but that's a different story.)
But from what I've read (in last week's Time and a CNN.com article for which I can't seem to find a link, it may have been elsewhere, all the stuff I read these days gets mixed up in my head) it seems as though Lamont is trying really hard NOT to be a one-issue wonder; Klein talks about how he gave an entire speech two weeks ago without mentioning the war. And I just no longer trust Lieberman the way I would like to, he seems to have grown old all of a sudden, Lamont feels like the "new blood" the party's looking for.
And the Wikipedia link on Patricia's xanga said that after a debate in which Lieberman asked if Lamont would disclose his tax returns, Lamont did. That's exactly the kind of thing that makes me love a politician, even if he is rich. And the pledge not to take money from lobbyists, and the whole "I'm being honest and upfront with you" when people like Lieberman are sort of hemming and hawing and not sure of what they think, is very, very appealing.

i must say i do love stephen colbert. he cracks me up.. i guess i do kind of agree with you on this one, though. we already went over there and fucked up their shit we might as well try to fix it. i think they should have some input though. we shouldn't just be like alright this is your government, american style, chock full of corrupted beaurocrats. they should set up their own government and then we should leave them alone.

also, can we get a Krishna poster? Think about it... no is an acceptable answer.

i found out my crush has a boyfriend. while i was wet and rained on and cold and dirty.

Personally I think that the entire Iraq War thing is messed up.

I love that song (Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls)

And I agree fully with the religion/whitehouse thing--how can you have a secular nation if it's completely based upon a religion?
