A Lieberman-Hannity Break-up?
Joe Lieberman and Sean Hannity get along famously. They have similar hobbies, like bashing the Democratic Party and saying wartime dissent is dangerous. They have warm interviews, swapping compliments like "you're a straight talker" and "you're a great American." (Lieberman even replied to the American compliment with a "you too, pal.") They have a political alliance, since Hannity has publicly offered his endorsement, a "big fundraiser in Connecticut" and help organizing conservatives for the Senator.

Lieberman accepted the support in theory by saying, "I appreciate your friendship and I appreciate your support." And they have a standing "pledge" to talk on Hannity's program once a month.

Or at least they used to.

It appears that Lieberman has not been back since his infamous February 10 appearance, when the endorsement offers were made. A lot has happened since then. A candidate entered the primary to challenge Lieberman, his support dropped in the latest polls, and he bought television ads for the first time in over a decade. He is courting Democratic activists and touting his progressive credentials. Now it looks like Lieberman's election year strategy may include snubbing his friend Sean Hannity.

How does Hannity feel about all this?

7. The only way JoMo can be beaten is in a primary...
and he knows it. If there is no primary, he gets most of the Democratic vote and a big share of the Repub vote by playing both sides of the fence and he is unbeatable. However, he never thought that someone might challenge him in a primary. Now, he's not so proud of his Republican credentials - in fact, rather silent.

8. I often wonder about him
were we duped in 2000? Was Al Gore duped?

Was Joe always such a miserable kiss ass?

Or is that his way of getting in good with the current "leadership"?
