As if we needed another reminder...
Remarks Prepared for Senator Joseph Lieberman
Marine Corps Law Enforcement Foundation
Semper Fidelis Award
New York, New York
April 10, 2008
I want to thank Jim [Kallstrom, chairman of the foundation] for that introduction and thank the Marine Corps Law Enforcement Foundation for this award that bears the proud Marine Corps motto:
"Semper Fidelis!" Always Faithful.
It is a special honor to be honored along with General Pace, Secretary Baker, and Rush Limbaugh.
As you may know, I was re-elected to the Senate in 2006 as an Independent. People often ask me how being an Independent is different from being a Democrat.
After tonight, I have a new answer.
As an Independent, it doesn’t bother me at all to be honored at the same dinner with Rush Limbaugh.
In fact, to show you how much things have changed for me, one of my greatest missions this year is to convince Rush to support the Republican candidate for President!
The truth is I greatly admire Rush’s love for our country and support for our troops, as shown by his remarks tonight and his generous support of MCLEF. Rush has a big voice but he has heart that is even bigger.
