Sen. Joseph Lieberman (I-Conn.) was running a few minutes late as he bounded onstage to cheers from environmental activists gathered in a park near the Senate chamber on Monday for a rally promoting climate-change legislation, which he is sponsoring with some of the Senate's staunchest liberals.
"I just said good things about you -- that's a true test," Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) told Lieberman, drawing laughter from a crowd that understood that not many Democrats have nice things to say about Lieberman these days.
Lieberman's outspoken advocacy for John McCain's GOP presidential candidacy crossed a line this week, prompting Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) and Senate Majority Leader Harry M. Reid (D-Nev.) to corral the 2000 Democratic vice presidential nominee into pointed face-to-face discussions.
Lieberman went beyond simply promoting McCain's candidacy on Wednesday. He joined a conference call in which Republicans attacked Obama's position on Iran moments after the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee had delivered a foreign policy address to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee.
