@JVL I had a very hard time squaring your praise for Lieberman with his latter years. I share your appreciation for his past. Yet, I fundamentally disagree with your interpretation about his true values as he aged.

Far from the nice guy shtick he portrayed, Lieberman acted like a naive misguided fool at best and a petty anti (fill in the blank) at worst. He stuck me as a slow burn bomb trying to destroy everything he created, all with a smile and for a completely unknown reason other than to be perceived as being “fair”.
Examples of this include:
1) Threatening censorship of music for subjectively “explicit” lyrics (despite his experience helping to register disenfranchised African-Americans register to vote and exercise their Constitutional rights).
2) Supporting the invasion of Iraq (but somehow a victim when the opponents’ points against invasion were actually in line as feared).
3) Supporting McCain and speaking on his behalf in 2008 against Obama for …
4) Singlehandedly blocking a public option for the ACA in defense of CT’s insurance industry, all while masquerading as being principled.
5) Sponsoring No Labels because both the Dems and GOP are equally bad?
6) Recommending a RICO suit against JVL et al because … they don’t like an organized political party fighting back?
@JVL, your show with Mona was stunningly out of character. You gave Lieberman as many excuses as a MAGA supporter does Trump when he says and does what he means.
I was very disappointed with your observations and comments and thought they completely missed the mark.
Totally agree. Mona was an Iraq War cheerleader from the jump and for years afterward, so no surprise there. I expected better from JVL. Lieberman devolved from a decent Senator to a narcissistic old coot who thought anyone who disagreed with him was not only wrong but needed to be investigated (i.e., the No Labels star turn).
