Although it's taken a while, finally an election--though a primary--that's a referendum on the war. How ironic though it is for a country club media millionaire like Lamont to be reaping the political benefits.

Lieberman concedes; Lamont wins primary

Not ironic in a country where the richest man in the city can buy his way into Gracie Mansion - oh, sorry, Bloomie didn't feel like living in New York's mayoral palace; he preferred his own palace just off Park Avenue ... Mayor (I'm not gay!) Koch preferred his Greenwich Village apartment to Gracie Mansion - but the courts ordered him to live in Gracie Mansion. Ah, well, such are the perks of the rich ... Fuck Lamont. If I lived in Connecticut, I would have voted for the patient in the state's longest on-record vegetative state just to get at Lieberman, that trecherous, miserable, slimy - thing.

I want to found the Anti-Incumbent Party. It's candidate is - anybody who does not presently hold office. If Slappy the drug-addicted bag boy at the A & P is running against a many termed incumbent - Slappy is our man! - until the next election. Sorry, Slappy - you're an incumbent, and you MUST go.

And not prove to the world that you can elect your leaders for life AND have a democracy? If only they were still around, we'd be the envy of the Soviet politburo.

Sarcasms aside, Lieberman centered the party in times of relative balance. Now that there is no balance in Washington, Joe is nothing but dead weight. The liberal fling with Lieberman didn't pay off too well, so all they needed was an excuse to end the relationship. Lieberman isn't taking it too personal. He might be running as an independent.

As Lieberman quipped once about Republicans who were registering as Democrats because they had missed the deadline: "Those are probably my voters." Of course, the room full of Democrats fell eerily silent.

Like FDR? I like to think noblesse oblige isn't totally dead, GWB to the contrary.
