Lieberman loves Bush

Guest post by Libby Spencer

The hat tip Bush gave to his new best little buddy has so far been little remarked on in the aftermath of Bush's address:

On Wednesday night, Bush conspicuously cited Lieberman’s advice as being the inspiration for creating a new "bipartisan working group" on Capitol Hill that he said will "help us come together across party lines to win the war on terror."

Apparently good old "independent" Joe is also going to prove very useful in helping his new best friend avoid any unpleasant accountability for other past screw ups like, say, Katrina. Betraying his campaign promises to call for accountability, Lieberman now feels it's unnecessary to push the White House to produce damning documents that would prove how dismally the administration failed the American people in its response to the disaster.

Add to this the relentless praise Joe is heaping on his presidential pal and one has to ask, shouldn't Lieberman be calling himself "co-dependent?" Independence just doesn't seem to fit the bill on this odd couple.

  • Boy, Joe sure has a knack for hitching his wagon to a star.

    Please, God, let this sanctimonious little ballbag destroy himself politically. Apologies on behalf of my former state-mates for not taking care of it.
