LIEBERMAN HAS BEEN NAILED FOR HIS HYPOCRISY ON EARMARKS:

In Robert Novak’s 7/17/06 column he reported, “Lieberman’s exasperation [in the Senatorial debate] peaked when Lamont called the 6,241 earmarks in last year’s transportation program ‘wrong’ and suggested the senator was ‘part of the problem.’ While praising ‘good’ earmarks for Connecticut, Lieberman added: ‘Of course, we were all against the bridge to nowhere.’ In fact, Lieberman last Oct. 20 voted against Republican Sen. Tom Coburn’s amendment to defund the infamous Alaska bridge. On that same day, Lieberman also voted to oppose Coburn’s proposals to defund a parking garage in Nebraska, a sculpture park in the state of Washington and an animal shelter in Rhode Island.” [Source: Robert Novak’s syndicated column, 7/17/06]
