Calling Sherlock Holmes...

Here's a mystery that would tax even the Great Detective - why doesn't Joe Lieberman just 'fess up and call himself a Republican?

Two prominent Republican lobbyists, Craig Fuller and H.P. Goldfield, hosted a fund-raising dinner Thursday evening at Goldfield's Washington home for Democratic Sen. Joseph Lieberman, seeking re-election in Connecticut this year.

Okay, there's probably no real mystery there. It's probably tons of fun being the neo-con/Fox News Token Democrat - being feted by people with no sense of logic/reality, enormous checkbooks and/or big pretty TV cameras can turn a senator's grandfatherly little head. Were he just to shed his Dem clothing and admit that a Republican wolf had been hiding there all along, he'd be just another pseudo-conservative politician. Those guys are a dime a dozen in DC. Mind you, they cost millions more, but they're only worth a dime a dozen. If that.

C'mon, Joe. Be honest. I know you can...

Sorry, I couldn't type that with a straight face.
