I don't claim to know insiders that have "leaked" this information to me. I'm not a political expert (I've only been reading the blogs for a couple of months). I'm not good friends with anyone in politics. I just thought it'd be fun to start a little bit of a rumor.
Wait. I take that back. That rumor has already been floated out on the internet. I'm just seeing if I can keep it going.
In all seriousness, I haven't seen anyone else blog this particular evolution of the rumor, so I decided I'd throw it out there and open it up for troll rating as people see fit. (Yes. I said evolution. It's science. Believe in it!)
See ya on the flip....
Kos has already floated
this out there a couple of times, but let's bring it back into the limelight, shall we?
Back during one of my anti-Lieberman tirades, a DC insider warned me that Lieberman was being courted by Bush to be his new Secretary of Defense.
[...]
I said, "that's nice" and changed nothing. And Lieberman wasn't selected Secretary of State so it seemd much ado about nothing.
Now, does anyone else find it very curious timing that we hear (on the same day) Leiberman won't run as an indy if he loses the primary by more than 10 points AND he calls for Rummy's resignation on the Ed Shultz show? Come on. Waffling on an indy run AND calling for the resignation of the person you are potentially going to replace? A little too coincidental.
And as an aside, how much of a "fuck you" from the Administration would this be to the rest of us if this DID happen? We are challenging him on so many issues, especially his support for the war and we boot his ass out of the Senate and Bush picks him up and PUTS HIM IN CHARGE OF THE MESS WE'RE SICK OF HIM SUPPORTING!
That's my $0.02. Thanks for listening.
