Both of them have made it their cause to kiss Republican ass, without regard to the merit of doing so.  They apparently just consider it good branding.  To mama's boy Beinart who won't actually go FIGHT in the war, he also gets to talk tough and act like he gives a damn about something other than the image of a guy who is OK with war, damn it (as long as other people do the dying).

Neither of them are serious about the subjects of terrorism or war.  They're all about cool branding.  Remember, Joementum was not so reticent to smack down Bill Clinton in public for his stupid sexual adventures.  So the idea that he just doesn't like to be mean to people is obvious nonsense.  Joe has found a niche as the Democrat who Fox News likes, and he thinks it's a good gig.  So he's always happy to step up and talk crap about a fellow Dem; but can't bring himself to utter a critical word of the GOP.

Beinart can be dismissed:  he's writing for a shrinking audience, and his brand is tanking.  So buh-bye, fool.

But Lierbman needs to get booted out of the Senate.  Then maybe he and Beinart can collaborate on a book about how he-men like them didn't belong in the Democratic party anyway.
