In another bold move from the current administration, the Vice President has now weighed in on the Connecticut Senate primary election as well!
from the latest NYTimes story about Lieberman's loss:
"It's an unfortunate development, I think, from the standpoint of the Democratic Party, to see a man like Lieberman pushed aside because of his willingness to support an aggressive posture in terms of our national security strategy,'' Mr. Cheney said in a telephone interview with news agency reporters.
"from the standpoint of the Democratic Party". wonderful! How considerate of all these Republicans today, to help out the Democrats in this obvious moment of crisis. So much free, excellent advice about what the Democrats are doing wrong. Maybe these Republicans really are bi-partisan & looking out for our best interests after all!
there's more from Cheney too, at the end of the article:
Mr. Cheney offered warm praise for Mr. Lieberman, who was his opponent for vice president in 2000, though he said he did not want his remarks to be construed as endorsement of Mr. Lieberman. He cast Mr. Lieberman's loss in ominous terms, suggesting that it would hearten American terrorist enemies.
Al Qaeda, he said, is "betting on the proposition that ultimately they can break the will of the American people in terms of our ability to stay in the fight and complete the task."
"And when we see the Democratic Party reject one of its own, a man they selected to be their vice presidential nominee just a few short years ago, it would seem to say a lot about the state the party is in today," he said.
Yup. Al Qaeda wanted Ned Lamont to win, implies Cheney. We have emboldened the terrorists. In case you've forgotten, this is the current Vice President of the USA making this speculation.
But you know. I actually think he's right, in his statement here at the end. It sure does say a lot about the state that the party is in today. It says that the change has begun...
