As someone tweeted on Twitter last night:
Got the Joe Lieberman costume ready. Gonna stand in front of porches and block kids from getting candy.Joe Lieberman is now saying that he prefers no health care reform at all, if the choice is between a bill with the public option and no bill at all. The thing is, Lieberman just got caught in a lie. As ThinkProgress points out, Lieberman opposed Baucus' health care bill, legislation that didn't include the public option at all. Not to mention, three years ago when Lieberman was up for reelection, he was in favor of universal coverage. Now, not so much.
Joe Lieberman is in favor of being the center of attention, regardless of how many promises he has to break, or how many people he hurts. Lieberman owes his committee chairmanship, and his election in part, to Barack Obama. Perhaps this is another issue the President might some day choose to weigh in on.
