Do some Democrats look around and wonder what they are doing in the company of so many emotionally disturbed individuals?

Consider Washington Post columnist Ezra Klein's comments about Joe Lieberman today.

At this point, Lieberman seems primarily motivated by torturing liberals. That is to say, he seems willing to cause the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people in order to settle an old electoral score.

Mass murder for a good reason; liberals can understand; like Che's regrettable but necessary actions to advance the cause of glorious revolution. Mass murder in the form of screwing up socialism's Trojan horse for no better reason than being pissed that members of his own party tried to get him booted from office--well, that's beyond the pale.

But the really good part is that Klein can so easily rely on good, solid "government" research to back his point. You know, beyond-reproach science like they do at East Anglia University. Nevermind that a bunch of studies on the same subject conclude that Medicare had no discernable effect on mortality.

This is no doubt the "truth" that conservative commentators like that awful Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh are "lying" about.

I can't get mad at these people, they're just too amusing...
