Lieberman on McCain: MSNBC 10/08/08

Joe Lieberman on John McCain
"MSNBC Live" 1:38pm
Interview

TRANSCRIPT:
ANDREA MITCHELL: Whats going on out there? Its getting a little bit ugly. Is there some responsibility on Sarah Palin [] when the campaign starts [] going on the attack, and they telegraph [] that they were about to do this. Should everybody just take a deep breath and perhaps call out some of the supporters who get a little rowdy and ugly on this thing?

JOE LIEBERMAN: Yeah, maybe everybody should take a deep breath. I dont even know that Sarah Palin heard what was said. Trust me. In the rallies of both parties theres gotta be some people that are going to say things that certainly dont reflect the views of the candidates. So I think that this a silliness and a distraction, both candidates, both parties should be talking about what s on the minds of the American people, which is the economy. I think that John McCain and Barack Obama did that last night. I thought John McCain was better because he came with some new ideas. Reform ideas, like the bold idea for the government to buy home mortgages of people to keep them in their homes.

MITCHELL: Senator, the Obama campaign said that thats already in the treasury bailout bill. And that it had already been referred to by Obama. [] What did he mean by that one, and how did you take it? []

LIEBERMAN: A vice presidential candidate should not be into psychobabble. John McCain several times [] referred to his opponent as Senator Obama. One time he said that one, he pointed across the stage. He looked at him all the time. There was a good back-and-forth going on. []

MITCHELL: Do you think there were slurs here? Do you think this was John McCain trying to be dismissive, trying to belittle his opponent?

LIEBERMAN: Oh no, he said that one supported my opponent, He could have just as easily said, my opponent supported the Bush Cheney energy package for the oil industry. I, John McCain, oppose it. Hes very casual that way. It was certainly not intended offensively. Again, I think the democratic ticket is doing that this morning because McCain really dominated the debate last night. []

[]

LIEBERMAN: Lord knows, I have a lot to repent for.

Thank you, Senator Lieberman. Your last line said it all--"I have a lot to repent for". The Senator Lieberman I once respected has reduced himself to a republican talking head and should just apply for a job at Fox "News".
