Lieberman: I Endorsed The Only Candidate Who Wanted My Support

[Poiuyt]

Today on MSNBC, Lieberman admitted that McCain was the only ‘08 presidential candidate who sought him out, telling MSNBC’s Monica Novotny that “not one of the Democrats asked for my support”:

NOVOTNY: Well, it is unusual, as you know, for a Democrat or an independent Democrat, as you call yourself, to endorse a Republican. Did you consider any of your Democratic colleagues?

LIEBERMAN: Well, I did. I mean, to have full disclosure, not one of the Democrats asked for my support, which may be a story in itself. John McCain and I are friends. He did ask for my support.

Do the people of Connecticut know that?

17. There's something wrong with McCain

I've followed him for a long time, and I even am ashamed to say I live in AZ.

He's not well. He should not be running for POTUS, and no one should be endorsing him.

20. Being held prisoner does something to the psyche..

I have a friend who was a political prisoner in a communist country for many years. The older he gets, the worse it seems to effect his thinking. Admittedly anecdotal, but I can't help thinking maybe this is what's happening here.
