THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN KERREY AND KERRY IS MORE THAN AN "E"-- IT'S ALSO THE TREACHEROUS LIEBERMAN

Bob Kerrey from Nebraska always seemed like a decent guy to me, regardless of the tasteless "baby killer epithets that have been thrown his way since his days in 'Nam. And, honestly, I was floored today when I read that Kerrey has endorsed Lieberman. True, he went to Connecticut and gave a speech that sounded like he was actually supporting Ned Lamont but, in the end, he decided to tell Democratic voters in Connecticut that he knows best and that the reactionary Bush rubber stamp is the right person to send back to the U.S. Senate, even though Lieberman has been telling intimates that he plans to wreak revenge on Democrats if he's re-elected senator.

"'We cannot be the Iraqi police force forever,' Kerrey said, calling it an inappropriate use of U.S. military. 'At some point you've got to say to the Iraqi people, It's yours.'"

At the same time that Kerrey was campaigning for Lamont's ideas and for Lieberman, John Kerry was in Connecticut with Lamont campaigning both for him and his ideas. Now neither Kerrey nor Kerry was a big fan of another sleazy and duplicitous pol when they were young men. Kerry seems to have learned a lesson. Kerrey hasn't. Someone needs to send him this video. (I heard when Lieberman saw it he became hysterical. Too close to home?
