Opinion

Sen. Coleman led well and exposed billions in waste and fraud
By Joseph Lieberman

Article Last Updated: 10/11/2008 06:01:20 PM CDT


As the former chairman and current ranking member of the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations (PSI), Sen. Norm Coleman used the subcommittee to solve real problems facing Americans.

As chair of the full committee on Homeland Security and Government Affairs, of which PSI is a subcommittee, I have had the good fortune to work closely with Norm Coleman over the years. Working in a bipartisan manner, he focused on three important national priorities: fixing weaknesses in America's homeland security; rooting out fraud, waste and abuse in government spending; and bolstering consumer protection. I am proud to report that in each of these areas, real progress has been made.

As a result of Coleman's leadership, PSI has exposed more than $80 billion in fraud, waste and abuse in government operations. He identified multiple vulnerabilities in the Medicare system, which recently led to sweeping changes in Medicare to prevent scam artists from ripping off taxpayer dollars.

With the Government Accountability Office, he pinpointed weaknesses in our nation's radiological licensing practices and brought about changes to help prevent terrorists from obtaining radioactive materials here in the United States. He also revealed the predatory practices of credit counseling agencies that take advantage of folks trying to dig their way out of debt. This effort ultimately strengthened efforts by the IRS to combat these abuses.

1. Didn't Reid say Lieberman recently gave $250,000 to the DSCC?

Why would he give money to the DSCC if he doesn't support its candidates?

10. Reid grasps at anything to justify his coziness with Holy Joe

Truth be known, Reid probably gave the $250,000 himself and put Lieberman's name on it just to stay in good graces with that lying bastard.

2. My goodness, he should get his own episode of that "Dirty Jobs" show

...where they go on the job with sewage workers and whatnot, to document the most distasteful sorts of things that people do for a living.

To make a career of wallowing in slime is impressive.

3. I cannot believe that this support by LIEberman would do Coleman any good....

Those two are a match made in hell...

4. The massive Jewish Retirement Vote in Minnesota is a force to be reckon with

Because of the mild winters.


Time for Sarah Silverman to travel to Minnesota.

[BrklynLiberal]

5. oops. I did not read your post intelligently.

[ogneopasno]

6. As Franken says of himself: I'm the best New York Jew to represent Minnesota!

Oops, now you've gone and changed your post. Ah well.

[BrklynLiberal]

14. I read the above post too quickly and did not realize it was a joke..

I missed, "the mild winters" in Minnesota part...

[Ichingcarpenter]

8. See what I mean?

Its absolutely devious.


Franken is not in the same age group as Lieberman but both are of
the same religion thus with the recommendation by Norm, Al runs the risk of
the Laughing his ass off. ..... that could be unhealthy to Al

Lieberman must have truly thought this through
since he has so much clout in Minnesota.

7. Lieberman

He tried to say he voted with Democrats 90 percent of the time and those who went with Lamont are
using the Iraq Issue as a litmus test but consider this.

Both Obama and Hillary supported him In the primary and did went you are suspose to do and back
the winner of the primary

He has said good things about Susan Collins,Palin,and now fellow turncoat Coleman

Has attacked the Democratic postion on offshore drilling

Launched attacks on Obama

Stands there while Mccain launches Conservative attacks against the beliefs of the Democratic
Party.

9. Does Lieberman really believe he has any stroke?

[spinbaby]

11. I certainly think he had a stroke

It's the only way I can explain it.

[HughMoran]

12. I miss the days when a "dual" would settle this little issue with Lieberman
