Lieberman was surrounded by a couple of cameras and a horde of reporters, all asking questions. I walked up and waited behind the reporters, and after a few minutes he stopped answering questions and began to walk off. I jumped forward, shook his hand, and introduced myself to him, all very politely. Then I asked him, "Senator, do you feel you've stuck to your campaign promise to get the troops out of Iraq as soon as possible?" He stopped in his tracks, turned to me, and put his hand on my shoulder. He looked me straight in the eye, and said, "Michael, I always said I want to get the troops out as soon as possibly safely. In order to get them out safely, we need to send in more troops now." Without waiting a second, I shot right back, "Senator, with all due respect, that makes absolutely no sense." He chuckled, and without another word, trotted away.

Right after that, several of the reporters came over to me and asked me a couple of questions about what just happened. One of them posted a link online.

I know everyone on here has been attacking Lieberman non-stop since the primary, but this is the first time I've met him face-to-face. I never liked his view on the war, but I never realized he could be such a hypocritical deceitful disgrace. I can't wait until we win a few more seats in 2008 and he will no longer be in the position to disrupt the balance in the Senate by threatening to switch parties.
