The Day gives Joe a D, we want it back


I don't know if they'll print it, and besides this version has links:

To the Editor of the Day:

It comes as something of a surprise to me that the Day, a newspaper, doesn't keep up with the news.

If you check your archives, you will find that even the Day reported on the fact that Joseph Lieberman ran for the Senate last year as the candidate of the Connecticut for Lieberman Party, thus revealing his true priorities for all the world to see. Since his election to the Senate on that ticket, he has let it be known that he prefers to be regarded as an Independent. We Democrats don't agree with Mr. Lieberman about much, but we agree with him about that.

I bring this to your attention since you erroneously referred to the Senator as a Democrat in an article on the 2nd. Most other news outlets have reluctantly stopped covering for the Senator, and have stopped calling him a Democrat. The Day appears to be the last holdout.

Perhaps I shouldn't fault the Day for being unaware of the Senator's preferences and the objective reality, since it has pretty much ignored his performance since the election. Still, being a newspaper and all, the Day might be interested to know that the Senator has taken several positions on the Iraq War since the election that are at variance with the positions that he took when he was shilling for votes. Most notable are his support for the Iraq escalation, at odds with his statement prior to the election that he foresaw a drawdown as early as this past December, and his recent statement that now, for the very first time, there is reason to be optimistic about Iraq, his constant optimism during the campaign notwithstanding. Come to think of it, the Day's readers might have been interested to know these things as well.
