Knights of the Old Republic
December 16th, 2007Joseph Lieberman has endorsed John McCain for President of the United States, as have two prominent newspapers. McCain’s campaign is still dead.
On the living end of the Republican primary, Mitt Romney called on Mike Huckabee to apologize to George W. Bush.
When I first read these two comments, I thought, “What loyal knights of the old Republic these men are.” Really, how desperate is Mitt Romney to get George W. Bush’s endorsement? Listen: it’s not going to happen, Mitt. Bush will “endorse” whoever is leading heavily or whoever is the nominee (they might well be the exact same thing). And how about Joe Lieberman? I’ve been a “defender” of his over the years, because he is a good Democrat all things considered, but now he’s crossing the line. Not only is he endorsing a Republican for President he is endorsing the biggest hawk and maniac in their party. For what? To stick it to the Left-wing primary voters who knocked the Democratic nomination for Senator out of his hands?
