The Party’s Over
From the (Bridgeport) Connecticut Post, another story that reads like something out of the Onion:Connecticut for Lieberman Party Chairman John Orman called Tuesday for Sen. Joe Lieberman to resign, saying his advocacy of a military strike against Iran could explode into a global conflict.

(Secretary of State Susan Bysiewicz’s response):
“Believe me, I know there are people who feel very frustrated with Senator Lieberman’s choices because we hear from them every day in our office,” Bysiewicz said Wednesday. But “the next time people will have the opportunity to opine on Mr. Lieberman’s candidacy will be in 2012.”
