Republican political donors are raising funds for U.S. Senator Joe Lieberman as he runs as an Independent *after his loss to Ned Lamont in the Democratic primary.
A luncheon, hosted by President Bush's college roommate, Tom Kuhn, cost $1,000 a plate for the former Democratic Vice Presidential candidate, an an effort to push the candidate closer to the GOP if he should indeed win reelection in Connecticut.
According to the Chicago Sun-Times, Kuhn, president of the Edison Electric Institute, raised more than $100,000 for Bush in the 2000 and 2004 presidential campaigns.
Also among the Lieberman event's sponsors was Rick Shelby, a longtime Republican operative who is executive vice president of the American Gas Association.
And how's Mel Sembler coming along?
With all thanks and acknowledgment to "All Headline News" folks.
*For clarification purposes, understand that Lieberman is not running on the Independent Party line...that is a separate entity altogether. He is running independent-LY in the party he created, the "Connecticut for Lieberman Party." That's a big mislead on his part.
*The snotty commentary represents the thoughts and opinions of this writer alone.

Hope all you CT Lieberlovers heard the good news today...well, surprise, surprise! Your senator agrees with the madman and is seeking MORE troops to attend the oil party in Persia. Are you happy those of you who tettered on the edge, choosing "experience" over Lamont?
Reap what you have sewn. Who's son or daughter will be next? Happy New Year.
Bite me.
Yes, by all means, let's surge more young American lives into the Iraqi meat grinder ~ even though most analysts and military officials now admit that 'victory' is not an option. Let's commit more human sacrifices on the altar of Bush's ego, which is as black as Cheney's Oil God altar. If there is any justice in this world, Lieberman will have many nights to "experience" remorse for his support of Bush. Wait; what am I saying? In order to feel remorse, one must have a conscience, and that lets Joe off the hook.
