But I do hope that when Lieberman gives his speech at the GOP convention, he realizes that the delegates cheering him on are the same people who'd be rioting in the streets if their party ever gave Lieberman anything more than a symbolic honor. In other words, Lieberman's only use to the Republicans is as a sideshow act; and he, of course, has no use anymore to Democrats. So, basically, he truly is a man without a political home. So sad.I agree that his role largely is "sideshow act," ie. demonstration of "true post-partisanship."
However, I'm not so sure how much rioting there'd be. I think he talks "seriously" enough about bombing the enemy-of-the-week to be comfortably accepted into the fearful and hateful heart of the modern Bush/McCain Republican Party.
