Let's not call Lieberman an independent. He's a Republican. He just doesn't have the balls to admit it, and the Dems don't have the balls to kick his ass to the curb.
Frankly, I think we need more politicians to say "go fuck yourself", and a lot of other "uncivil" things, especially when it comes to sheer stupidity. When someone in front of you in the Starbucks line says something stupidly dangerous if implemented, a proper response might be to snort in derision and move on with your life. When someone with the actual power to implement something stupidly dangerous does it, it is NOT a proper response to say anything like "I respectfully disagree with my friend from Wingnuttia". But that's what the people "on our side" do all the time. More hearty "fuck you's", please.
