In an underplayed story that I only heard on the radio, Obama and Lieberman had a rather spirited private conversation (out of earshot but in view of reporters at the Senate) last week. Obama actually supported Lieberman during the 2006 Democratic primary and, after Lieberman lost and decided to run as an independent, did not speak out in support of Ned Lamont. Presumably Obama feels like he is entitled not to take such direct criticism from a member of his own party that he supported in a tough time, but Lieberman sees it differently.

Actually, there was a Newsweek report that the conversation had a lot to do with Lieberman's half-hearted efforts to acknowledge that Obama is a Christian and not a Muslim.

C'mon, Joe, show some class . . . at least, occasionally . . .

It probably would've looked a lot like Bush's administration with a Republican Congress.

Well, Clinton did hire a competent director of FEMA.

Big Brown would have done a better job than Fredo's handpicked entry.
