Joe for VP [Peter Wehner]
Bill Kristol has a typically provocative and noteworthy editorial now posted on the website of The Weekly Standard. Bill points out that the MSM chose to ignore one of the most significant Senate speeches I can recall: Senator Joe Lieberman’s critique of the Democratic party’s national-security stance, particularly on Iraq – a stance he lacerated. Lieberman is, it’s worth recalling, the man who was chosen by Al Gore in 2000 to be Gore’s running mate. At the end of the editorial, Kristol suggests Lieberman for VP again – but this time, to serve as the running mate on a Republican ticket. It’s an intriguing idea – and it would certain scramble the political chessboard. Whichever party wins in ’08, let’s hope Joe Lieberman plays a pivotal role on national-security matters. In the entire political world, there are not many who are better, or politically braver.
