If I were Bush I would offer the U.N. Ambassador spot to Joe Lieberman. But if I were Joe Lieberman, I wouldn’t take the job.
Whatever Joe’s flaws he must see that Bush is a hopeless fool.
…as Bush rethinks his strategy in Iraq and approaches one of the most fateful moments of his presidency, he confronts difficult questions: At what point does determination to a cause become self-defeating folly? Can he change direction in a meaningful way without sacrificing principle?
If Joe needs an answer to those questions, he can look to Colin Powell’s former chief-of-staff.
“I just don’t believe that this president, with this vice president whispering in his ear every moment, is oriented to change,” said retired Col. Larry Wilkerson, who was chief of staff to Secretary of State Colin L. Powell in Bush’s first term. “And even if he were, I don’t believe his administration is capable of implementing change.”
Why trade a fresh six year Senate term in for a two-year gig representing this failed Presidency before the United Nations? Lieberman is too much of an egomaniac to make that kind of miscalculation.
