Jan. 11, 2007 - Sen. Joe Lieberman, the only Democrat to endorse President Bush’s new plan for Iraq, has quietly backed away from his pre-election demands that the White House turn over potentially embarrassing documents relating to its handling of the Hurricane Katrina disaster in New Orleans.

Lieberman’s reversal underscores the new role that he is seeking to play in the Senate as the leading apostle of bipartisanship, especially on national-security issues. On Wednesday night, Bush conspicuously cited Lieberman’s advice as being the inspiration for creating a new “bipartisan working group” on Capitol Hill that he said will “help us come together across party lines to win the war on terror.”

But the decision by Lieberman, the new chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, to back away from the committee's Katrina probe is already dismaying public-interest groups and others who hoped the Democratic victory in November would lead to more aggressive investigations of one of the White House’s most spectacular foul-ups.

Last year, when he was running for re-election in Connecticut, Lieberman was a vocal critic of the administration’s handling of Katrina. He was especially dismayed by its failure to turn over key records that could have shed light on internal White House deliberations about the hurricane, including those involving President Bush.

Asserting that there were “too many important questions that cannot be answered,” Lieberman and other committee Democrats complained in a statement last year that the panel “did not receive information or documents showing what actually was going on in the White House.”

1. Connecticut voters

Were swindled. We all watched it happening, we told them they were wrong. They refused to believe us. They deserve the shitty senator they got. He's almost worse than "I swear I'll investigate this" Arlen Specter.

2. I would really like to know ...........

What is the Connecticut press saying about this piece of crap. Any good op-ed's? Anyone from Connecticut? Anyone pissed?

3. Lieberman isn't Bush's DEMOCRATIC friend

Joe's not a Democrat.

And whenever the media presents him as so (having Lieberman and a Republican on a show), we should email the show and ask, "Why no Dem representation?"

8. *sigh* I remember the days when criticism of Lieberman was NOT Kosher here

Just nostalgia. I'm glad the chill is off. Criticism of Lieberman would often be met by scores of people yelling anti-semitism. Not now. That's a good thing. It says we're thinking on a higher level.

4. I believe that was a typo....

This is what is should have said:
