In Al Kamen's
In the Loop article of 2/14/2005 page A15, he states
There's been K Street chatter, our colleague Jeffrey H. Birnbaum tells us, that Lieberman could be on an administration list to replace Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld in the next year or so.
Oh, no...
Al then goes on to comment on why this is a good deal -- gets the Dems one less Senator and allows the Rep Governor of CT to pick a Republican replacement.
He misses the main reason though, Holy Joementum is a huge supporter of Israel and the continuing War-on-whatever-is-in-Bush's-mind-at-the-moment. This would add an additional friendly face at the Pentagon without it actually being a real Neocon and their increasing baggage.
This is not good...
