Lieberman basically said he's not voting for anything that Liberal are excited about. Wow.........
n the interview, Mr. Lieberman said that he grew apprehensive when a formal proposal began to take shape. <...>


And he said he was particularly troubled by the overly enthusiastic reaction to the proposal by some liberals, including Representative Anthony Weiner, Democrat of New York, who champions a fully government-run health care system.

"Congressman Weiner made a comment that Medicare-buy in is better than a public option, it's the beginning of a road to single-payer," Mr. Lieberman said. "Jacob Hacker, who's a Yale professor who is actually the man who created the public option, said, 'This is a dream. This is better than a public option. This is a giant step.'"

2. Well I suspected that might happen when A. Weiner gushed on Ed over the buy-in.

3. IOW, he is not a smart person, and is only reactive to what others
think - in this case, his insurance lobbyists.
