Too bad Connecticut doesn't have a recall statute

Steve Benen at Talking Points Memo writes:

When Lieberman tells a national television audience that the question is over "whether the American government can listen into conversations or follow e-mail trails of non-American citizens," he's either intentionally trying to deceive or he's embarrassingly confused about the issue at hand.

No. There's no either/or about it. Lieberman is intentionally trying to deceive. He's become an utter creep, just like his Thuglican cohorts.

Just what motivates him, I don't know. A large part of it is his slavish dedication to every right wing nut in Israel, but it obviously goes beyond that. For a Senator to think it's just fine for the President to ignore a law enacted by Congress is unthinkable unless you've just become a partisan hack for the President's party. I believe some of this is retribution, intended to screw the party that deserted him in the primary.
