Already, it seems like a couple of years ago that Lieberman stood up to regale the citizenry with his vision of unity through his candidate McCain.  Lieberman, you see, who the record will show spoke for some time last night, on September 3, 2008, of his belief that now is the time for unity, got to observe the fruits of his choice a day later when McCain's VP selection, Mrs. Palin, opted for the culture war message.  It appears that Lieberman agreed to speak on behalf of McCain so that the McCain campaign, a day later, could pit "cosmopolitan elitists" against "small town folks," or something along those lines.  How exactly we will all be unified in the end is not exactly clear to the admittedly reluctant observer of goings-on at the GOP convention, but one thing seems clear: Lieberman will no doubt turn up again in the coming days to participate in McCain's openly divisive message so as to strive for a "united" America at some magical point in the future.  Who knows? Maybe all those elitist, cosmopolitan types will take the animosity in stride. 

Dear Senator Lieberman,


It was telling to hear you speak of the importance of experience "in these times" in one part of the speech, only to endorse Mrs. Palin in another part of the speech.  It may have been the Romans who had a saying: "Hic funis nihil attraxit."  (This line has taken no fish.)  



Yours Sincerely,
