Has Lieberman Lost It?

He wants to bomb Iran and sides with Gonzales against a fifth of the Republican caucus? Hard to disagree with this:

Technically speaking, Lieberman actually voted to extend debate — that is, to refuse to end it by cloture. Which is a fine way to express your opposition to spending time on more debate, don’t you think?

Still, it was a useless procedure. This isn’t a parliamentary system. The president remains such for another year and a half, and he clearly doesn’t even care any more if he is effective. Here’s Lieberman’s statement. More griping from Democrats here. Meanwhile, Michael Ledeen wants Lieberman to be secretary of state. Mona casts a skeptical look at Michael’s previous statements on an Iran invasion. The Onion asks the American people what they think.

A friend thinks all of it is simply personal. Lieberman feels betrayed by his party – and he has been. But that’s no reason to embrace Bush, is it?
