McCain like JFK? Waaaa???

Ah, now I get how in the hell the headline Lieberman likens McCain to JFK came into being!  Lieberman says McCain is most like the Dems of JFK's time because he likes wars to be started in countries where there's no reason for us to be there, we can't win, and we funnel so much money into it America goes down the crapper: "The Democratic candidates have spent most of their time attacking the war in Iraq… they've honestly not done anything substantial to advance our cause in Afghanistan or against Al Qaeda."

See, and I thought the legacy of JFK we should be focusing on is not his bilateral vision of the world into US (get it, both a pronoun and initials for the United States) and Commies, but rather his ability to inspire political participation, a sense of community, a support of civil rights, and funding for social services.  I'm sure glad that Lieberman set me straight! 

Hey, maybe instead of blaming Nader for losing 2000 to Bush, we should take a harder look at the fact that Gore put Lieberman on the ticket?  "I see your truuuuuueeee colors, shining through!"
