Is Lieberman Still News? Talking Points Memo has an item on Joe Lieberman praising Obama for being "about perfect" in the way he's conducted himself since winning the presidency. But is Joe Lieberman still news? Is Lieberman that important a member of the Senate? Is he that prominent in the Democratic Party? Is he really that interesting? Liberal blogs like Talking Points Memo should be wary of letting Joe Lieberman become a Britney Spears type political celebrity whose every pronouncement is national news.
