THE TRUTH ABOUT JOE LIEBERMAN

It just occured to me when this all happened, when Joe Lieberman was seduced by the dark side.  It was during the vp debates in 2000.

LIEBERMAN: Dick Cheney must be one of the few people who think nothing has been accomplished in the last eight years. Promises were made and promises were kept. Has Al Gore — did Al Gore make promises in 1992? Absolutely. Did he deliver? Big time. Let me put it that way. That’s the record. Look at the 20 — look at the 22 million new jobs. Look at the 4 million new businesses. Look at the lower interest rates, low rate of inflation, high rate of growth. I think if you asked most people in America today that famous question that Ronald Reagan asked, "Are you better off today than you were eight years ago?" Most people would say yes. I’m pleased to see, Dick, from the newspapers that you’re better off than you were eight years ago, too.

CHENEY: I can tell you, Joe, the government had absolutely nothing to do with it. (LAUGHTER) (APPLAUSE)

MODERATOR: This question is to you.

LIEBERMAN: I can see my wife and I think she’s saying, "I think he should go out into the private sector."

CHENEY: I’ll help you do that, Joe.

LIEBERMAN: I think you’ve done so well there, I want to keep you there. (LAUGHTER)

Now I understand.  Lieberman’s sudden transformation into a mockpublican was about envy.  Money.  It is nothing like we thought.  He must have realized, that he has been working in the public sector when he could have been running ENRON and making a fortune.

He looked like a little kid who wanted the better bike or nicer toys.  He wanted a piece of the american pie that he was lacking.  He would not be the first.
