Has Lieberman issued a statement on his buddy McCain's VP pick?
His former adviser's statement was less than complimentary...

Dan Gerstein, a former adviser to Sen. Joe Lieberman, in the New York Daily News:

"In picking an unknown, untested, half-a-term woman governor from Alaska to be his running mate, John McCain is following in a long line of reckless men who have rolled the dice for a beauty queen. Except in this case, McCain is taking one of the biggest, boldest gambles in modern American political history."

4. I think Joe is still in mourning
sitting in a corner crying that he gave it all up for a man who never loved him.

Trying to figure out how to be a Dem again. Sorry, Joe. You're outta here!

5. Yep! Linked.
Connecticut Sen. Joe Lieberman, who was on McCain's short list, said in a statement that Palin was a good choice.

"Governor Palin is an independent leader who has fought the special interests on behalf of the people of Alaska,” he said.
