RECOVERED HISTORY: THE MANY SIDES OF JOE LIEBERMAN

Hartford Courant, 2006 - After spending most of his Senate career advocating piecemeal health care reforms, Joseph I. Lieberman said Wednesday he strongly supports universal health care.

Lieberman devoted a conference call with reporters to an issue that his main rival in the U.S. Senate race, Democratic nominee Ned Lamont, has highlighted in recent days.

"I have long supported the goal of universal health care," Lieberman told reporters. "Ned Lamont can talk about it. I've been doing something about it all the time I've been here."

It is hard to imagine a greater hypocrite than Joe Lieberman. Only days ago he made the statement that he intended to assist the Republicans in their efforts to fillibuster the (very modest) insertion of a government plan into the health care bill, soon to appear before congess.
His earlier indiscretions (copious) I won't go into here. But, by god he's a friggin liability,
