NEW YORK - Connecticut Sen. Joe Lieberman on Monday endorsed controversial Bush appointee John Bolton for a permanent slot at the United Nations - putting him at odds once again with Democrats and his Senate colleague, Chris Dodd.

Dodd, D-Conn., is the leading critic of Bolton, the controversial envoy Bush sent to the U.N. on a temporary ambassadorship after Democrats and some key Republicans balked at nominating him.

"I see no reason not to be for Bolton," Lieberman told a meeting of the New York Daily News editorial board.

"Based on his capabilities - and now based on his performance - I believe Bolton is well-qualified," he said.

"I think he's been a good negotiator and a good spokesman. He deserves to have a vote. I think he deserves to be confirmed."

3. That can't help his bid for re election.

It will lose him the support of a lot of Democratic voters.

4. Someone just smack Joe.He is a disgrace.

But this will make the GOP vote for him .Joe is a sanctimonious, traitotous bastard. Thank God we never had him as vice president! That is the only thing about election 2000 that could be looked at as positive.

6. Is he trying to be a dick?

How hard would it be for him to at least pretend that he wanted to be a Democrat - just like he indicated when he ran in the DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY? If he never intended to be with his party on most issues, then he never should have entered the primary as a Dem in the first place. Why not enter as an Independent in the beginning and be honest with the voters? I mean he won't even endore the Dem candidate for Governor or say on the record whether the Dems should take over the House!!! Any Democrat who votes for him and is aware of these positions is nuts!
:crazy:
