I hate long goodbyes. Make it fast, don't look back. Don't let the door hit you on the way out. Like that.I think we've found the mole!
This guy -- Joe Lieberman -- trusted enough in 2000 to be our vice presidential candidate (!) -- has shown his true colors by a sufficient enough revelation to be shown the door. The one we hope doesn't hit him on his way out.
We gave him the benefit of the doubt in 2000 when he appeared to be Dick Cheney's best friend forever at the debate. It was a sit-down, gentlemanly affair that left us wishing for a fighter not a lover.
But it was after the election of George W. Bush that Joe's true political feelings started coming out. No Republican is too bad for him. No Democrat is good enough.
Now he's against our nominee and supporting John McCain, and I believe I heard he's planning to speak at the Republican convention, out-Zelling Mr. Miller! What's next, a duel with Chris Matthews?
To the extent that we actually need him in the caucus, perhaps we need to keep him around. But let it be that at the earlier possible moment -- when his limited services are no longer needed -- that he is gone, kicked to the curb, sayonara, and don't write.
