While I was observing a moment of silence yesterday for the tragedy of Iraq, Lieberman was shooting his mouth off with Norah O’Donnell on his opposition to withdrawal timetables. I think most of us see this issue as a choice between two highly undesirable positions, so I think the guy is certainly entitled to his opinion. Yet feigning flexibility while assigning unattainable conditions is hollow politicking both unworthy and insulting to the messy reality from which we must extricate ourselves. Willful ignorance is no substitute for a plan, no matter how many times he may wish upon a star.

Oh, and don’t forget to stick it out until the end where, despite vehement campaign promises to the contrary, Lieberman refuses to rule out switching to the GOP and/or endorsing a Republican for president in 2008. But then again, I suppose he owes this entire term to his republican support.
