Well, well, well. It only took six weeks, but look what they're saying about Lieberman now: "Lieberman Now 'Gushing' For Obama.
Yep, ole' Joementum has changed his tune:
"He's shown real leadership," Lieberman told The Associated Press in an interview. "Bottom line: I think Barack Obama, president of the United States, is off to a very good start."
[...]
Lieberman has applauded Obama's national security team. He gushed over Obama's "inspirational and unifying" inaugural.
Whoever would have guessed?
I'd also like to draw your attention to this line:
Lieberman scoffed at any suggestion his embrace of Obama is more about political expediency than principle.
"I haven't changed ... I've always had a voting record that is more with the Democrats than with the Republicans," he said.
President Obama may not hold grudges, but I do. Good people of Connecticut, please do not let Lieberman get away with this! Bygones cannot be bygones: the man actively campaigned against Obama for 5 months. He campaigned for a Republican.
Just remember:
