Gonzales

From the Post:

The six Democrats who voted for [Gonzales] were Mary Landrieu (La.), Joseph I. Lieberman (Conn.), Ben Nelson (Neb.), Bill Nelson (Fla.), Mark Pryor (Ark.) and Kenneth Salazar (Colo.). All but Lieberman are from states that Bush carried in November.


Only six - good news, I guess. But these six, especially Lieberman...come on now. Lieberman is extremely far to the right on cultural issues, we know this. But to vote in favor of torture is pretty inexcusable. This guy is from a safe state, and has no excuse to be kissing the president's ass this much. Did you see him at the SOTU last night? He was pretty much the first guy to jump up and hug Bush after the speech. I thought he had turned down a spot in the Cabinet? Still auditioning?? Lieberman is going to be targeted in primaries, and unless the guys a certifiable wacko, I'll be supporting him.
