Press turning against Lieberman?
Edited on Tue Oct-24-06 07:23 AM by femmedem
from today's Courant:

Lamont reminded Lieberman that he had promised 18 years ago to call it quits after three six-year terms.

"Senator, it's not negative. We're just using your video, your words, looking in the camera, saying what you were going to do," Lamont said. "I think it gets to integrity."

Schlesinger broke the tension by offering his explanation of what Lieberman meant with his three-term pledge in 1988.

"The senator just simply meant he wanted three terms as a Democrat and then three terms as an independent," Schlesinger said.

And the NYT:
snip

Like the president, he has been somewhat dismissive of the National Intelligence Estimate made public last month that said the war in Iraq had emboldened terrorists, saying that it does not change his views on the war. After the report was released, Mr. Lieberman delivered a campaign speech intended to distance himself from the White House, saying that there should be a change in the tactics used in the war. Then, he said that the United States should “get tough” with the government in Iraq, and called for more American troops to be embedded with the Iraqi military and police.

Also, Mr. Lieberman has said he wants to end the war in Iraq, but he has said little in recent weeks about the difficulties there or what the signs to end it would be.

3. Hopefully, it's not too late
It's nice to see the Courant waking up after giving Lieby a free pass from Aug 8 through the end of September.

Amazing what a hypocrite Lieby is, though. I heard an ad today that said Lamont has no ideas - yet Lamont does have a plan to draw down our presence in Iraq. It's Lieby who does not have a plan for Iraq. Then, the ad says Lamont will say anything to get elected, when it's Lieby who's been on both sides of just about every issue out there.
