Crooks and Liars » Joe Lieberman: By: John Amato @ 11:10 AM – PDT
Russ Feingold joined THIS WEEK and had a few choice words for Lieberman and Bush. He told the country the basic fact about Lieberman: ‘He doesn’t get it.’ Feingold also explained that Bush can fight terrorism without breaking the law and stick to the FISA court.

Lieberman (on video): “If we just pick up as Ned Lamont wants us to do and get out by a date certain, it will be taken as a tremendous victory by the same people who wanted to blow up these planes in this plot hatched in England, and it will strengthen them and they will strike us again.”
Stephanopoulos: “Senator Lieberman thinks that your approach will strengthen the terrorists and it’s a victory for terrorists. What’s your response?”
Feingold: “Well, I like Joe Lieberman, but I support Ned Lamont. Because Joe is showing with that regrettable statement that he doesn’t get it. He doesn’t get it.
