Joe Lieberman is a creationist? WTF?

Grrrrrr. Heard Lieberman on C-Span this morning and I think he said he was a creationist. Why do talk show hosts invite Lieberman to represent Jews' and Democrats' viewpoints when he obviously does not represent us!

1. I guess he's from

the Dennis Prager wing of the Democratic Party

2. Who's Dennis Prager?

3. Sorry....I thought he was well-known!

He's a conservative L.A.-based, nationally-syndicated Jewish radio host. Pretends to be some authentic voice of Judaism and is terribly, terribly interested in keeping LGBT people from marrying. A pseudo-intellectual and general pompous ass. He's one of those people who loves to say things like "I'm a Kennedy democrat" as a way of talking about how Democrats lost "moral authority" because we "no longer believe in human liberty" and we are "weak on defense." The kind who calls us "moral relativists" and tut-tuts more than my bubele. You know the type.

Check out his home page if you like. I feel like I've been too kind to him. http://www.dennisprager.com/

Bob Somerby did a great piece on him a while ago on Daily Howler. http://www.dailyhowler.com/dh082503.shtml I was kind enough to send the column to Dennis. I hope he cried wet, wet tears as he read it.

The only good thing about Lieberman is that he has an 88% HRC rating, so he is relatively pro-gay...
