Sorry if I made you feel intellectually inferior. That wasn't my intention, but apparently I managed it. Again, my apologies. I'm trying to play well with others, but I don't always manage it.
Where you see Lieberman as a good ol boy (he supported both of his buddies in Kerry and McCain), I see a political gamble that didn't pay off. Lieberman's been slowly moving right for about 10 years, and I expect that he'll eventually abandon his independence and proclaim himself a Republican in time for re-election - assuming that the national party gets their shit together, which is no small task. The break from the Democrats was timed to inflict maximum damage, and it was only larger movements that stemmed the bleeding that he caused.
Then again, I didn't like Joe before he ran for VP, when he was running or afterwards. My opinion's that he's always been more than a bit of a douche. But that's me.
