The reason behind Joe Lieberman calling for Rumsfeld's resignation

[WI_DEM]

I just read that Lieberman has called for Rummy's resignation. I have to hand it to Joe he is always thinking of the future. He realizes he will need a job next Januaray.

1. No. He knows the race is closer than the polls show and wants to win.

I think he will in the end.

2. I see, so the Senator who prides himself on his integrity

is calling for Rummy's resignation now just as a ploy to win the primary?

3. He's copying Hillary?

She was first out of the gate with that theme.

4. I thought that was a joke - that Lieberdude's a consumate

backstabber ain't he? With friends like him .....?

You took the theme and you kicked it up a notch!

5. He did't really call for Rummy's resignation

If he had he would have said "Rummy needs to resign now"

What he said was "If I was President, I'd ask him to resign"

Sorry that's a weaselly thing to say to pretend he has balls.

6. Lieberman is sooo perfect a place to start for replacements, maybe Biden

could be replaced, he seems to care more about fashion then what the people really need.

8. Liebermann is grasping for anything to show

how disconnected he is to the bush crime family. I hope Ned beats the hell out of him.
