Dave Durenberger on Lieberman

By Matthew Holt

Former Minnesota Senator Dave Durenberger, a thinking centrist Republican (remember them?) puts out an occasional newsletter full of gems. This is today’s zinger:

The Senate has a better bill than the House, but it also has a 60-vote requirement which empowers the odd-ball "if not my way, the highway" members - like Joe Lieberman claiming that something like a public insurance plan violates his "conscience." I guess I don't understand Conservative Judaism.
