Oh, enough already!

Over at DailyKos, DHinMI offers up Joe Lieberman's response to the Richard Clarke's revealations about Bush terrorism (lack of) policy in his new book and on 60 Minutes.

"Sen. Joe Lieberman, D-Conn., said Sunday he doesn't believe Clarke's charge that the Bush administration -- which defeated him and former Vice President Al Gore in the 2000 election -- was focused more on Iraq than al-Qaida during the days after the terror attacks."

"I see no basis for it," Lieberman said on Fox News Sunday. "I think we've got to be careful to speak facts and not rhetoric."

You want facts, Joe? The fact is that Dick Clarke was the White House counter-terrorism czar. He was in the room, or tried to be, at least. His accounts are first hand, eyewitness testimony, and your dismissal is the 'rhetoric' here. You think he's a liar? Then call him a liar or shut up.

Better yet, just shut up. It should be abundantly clear to you by now that America just isn't interested in what you have to say, outside of the right-wing 'news' operations like Fox that use your blather as evidence of their 'balance' by airing the views of a Democrat who's views have been decidedly rejected by the Democratic electorate.

Like DHinMI, I spent some energy during the primary race defending Lieberman against 'R in D's clothing' charges. He does, in fact, vote with the caucus on a wide range of key Democratic issues. But enough, already. Surely Connecticutt can do better for themselves and our Party. He's not a Republican, but he's an embarassment.

DHinMI knocked of a fine email rant to the Senator and posted it at Kos. Take a look. I agree with every word.
