Lamont endorsement
Lowell Weicker endorses Ned Lamont who is running in the Connecticut Democratic primary against "Bush's favorite Democrat," Joe Lieberman. Here's part of the endorsement:
Weicker, as you may recall, lost the seat to Lieberman some years ago.
Then it is the brave man chooses, while the coward stands aside ...
"And the multitude make virtue of the faith they had denied."
These words of the 19th-century American poet James Russell Lowell sum up my admiration for and my support of Ned Lamont to be the next U.S. senator from Connecticut.
The majority of Democrats say they support Sen. Joe Lieberman in spite of his backing the war, since Iraq, after all, is only one of many issues facing voters.
Hello! To characterize the most monumental screw-up of our times as "only one of many issues" is like admiring the theater marquees on Broadway with King Kong on the loose.

I loved your simile comparing ignoring the war in Iraq to looking at the marquees on Broadway while King Kong is on the loose. Very clever writing. You are doing one hell of a good job. Thank you for speaking for all of us who are proud to be liberals!
