Last December, the New Yorker magazine ran a Joe Lieberman profile that said the Democratic senator from Connecticut “bears the scars of a happy childhood.” The story quoted Lieberman as saying, “I once took a college roommate home to Stamford and he said, ‘After meeting your parents, I have the feeling that they greeted you every morning with a standing ovation.’”

WELCOME TO THE presidential race, Senator Lieberman. No standing ovations here.

In fact, standing O’s are a far cry from the “scant applause” that the Hartford Courant said Lieberman got when he addressed the NAACP in Miami Beach mid-July after earlier snubbing them.

So far this presidential campaign, many out-of-step Democrats speaking to many politically correct Democratic venues have found standing ovations to be a rare commodity. For candidates who lack purity on the tapestry of liberal special interests, the primary season has been a quick study in humility. They’re getting booed and hissed and heckled — by fellow Democrats.

And Lieberman has felt more than his share of their pain. During the AFL-CIO forum in Chicago last month, Lieberman “received boos and catcalls for endorsing school vouchers,” according to the Associated Press. He also got booed when he told an Oklahoma Democratic forum that some of his opponents “run the risk of sending a message that they don’t know a just war when they see one.”
