"The characterization of Sen. Lieberman as a Bush ally is exaggerated. He has opposed the administration's Neanderthal-like environmental policies, its excessive tax cuts and the record deficits they have produced. Sen. Lieberman also vigorously opposed other Bush follies such as domestic spying, rendition and torture."

:wtf: Are they talking about the same Senator Lieberman who voted for the 2005 energy bill, who contributed to record deficits with his war-mongering, and who defended Gonzales's use of the word "quaint" to describe the Geneva Conventions? And just when did torture become a "folly"?

I didn't expect this, because the Day has been so outspoken against Bush. They did at least say that their editorial board was split on who to endorse, and that Lamont was more than a one-issue candidate.
