Wow! Did you just see Joe Lieberman on the Evans & Novak Show?

He talked a good game and made some interesting comments on a possible 2004 run.

More pointedly, though, he was the first marquee Democrat (at least the first I’ve seen) to openly make the ‘Hey, you didn’t really get elected anyway, bub‘ argument against George W. Bush. Yes, there was a touch of sugar-coating. But not much.

When I get a hold of the transcript, I’ll post it.

P.S. Is there going to be an acronym for the ‘Hey, you didn’t really get elected anyway, bub’ argument? No doubt. HYDRGEAB — not exactly euphonious, but you can’t have everything.
