Joe Lieberman, leccaculo di Bush, "democratico" filo-guerra,
filo-tortura e filo-neocon, sconfitto alle primarie.   Un precedente
storico per un'ex-vice presidente e un senatore piu' volte rieletto.
Non mi importa da chi.
La maggior garanzia perche "non si ripeta" e' la punizione dei
colpevoli.   Questo e' il primo, timido
passo nella giusta direzione.

 Shock loss shows US anti-war mood
By Richard Allen Greene
BBC News, Washington
Washington insiders from both parties have long been muttering that
George W Bush's Republican party is going to lose ground in elections
in November.
The only question, they say, is how much ground. Enough to lose control
of one or both houses of Congress?
They may have had the beginnings of an answer on Tuesday night, but the
scalp that was claimed was not Republican - it was Democrat Joe
Lieberman.
His support for the Iraq war was a major factor in his loss, experts
say.
Mr Lieberman's opponent, political novice Ned Lamont - who was unknown
six months ago - campaigned hard on an anti-war platform and became the
first man in decades to beat an incumbent senator in a primary race.
Although Mr Lamont's margin of victory was narrow, this was a shock
loss for the Connecticut centrist who ran for vice-president only six
years ago.
Mr Lieberman has said he will run as an independent in November.
'Bush's favourite Democrat'
A long-time Lieberman ally turned Lamont backer said it was Mr
Lieberman's support for the Iraq war and the Bush administration that
led to his defeat on Tuesday.
"Connecticut opposes this war and continues to oppose this war," said
Irving Stolberg, who has been active in state Democratic politics for
more than 35 years.
"You can't run in Connecticut as Bush and Cheney's favourite Democrat."
Analysis by the New York Times newspaper showed that Mr Lieberman has
voted with the Democrats in the Senate the overwhelming majority of the
time during his career.
Connecticut's newspapers endorsed him, as did unions and many other
traditionally Democratic groups.
Bill Clinton led the list of party luminaries who visited the state to
campaign for him.
Kiss of death?
But Mr Lamont's campaign relentlessly linked him to the Iraq war - of
which he has been an unwavering supporter - and to President Bush.
Lamont television ads showed Mr Bush appearing to kiss Mr Lieberman on
the cheek after his State of the Union address last year.
Tom Matzzie of the liberal activist group MoveOn.org - which endorsed
Mr Lamont - said the result reflected voter perception that the
Democratic senator was too close to the Republican president.
"If you are a rubber stamp for George Bush, then you are going to be in
trouble on election day," he said.
Voters "are saying they want leaders who are going to stand up and
fight against the Bush administration, especially the war in Iraq", he
added.
National party mood
Connecticut is among the most reliably Democratic states in the US,
political scientist Larry Sabato said, pointing out that Mr Bush lost
the state by a landslide in both 2000 and 2004.
Mr Lieberman's defeat reflects how the Democratic party feels, he said
- and even before the votes were tallied, centrist Democrats who shared
Mr Lieberman's positions were tacking to the left to take the party's
mood into account.
LIEBERMAN CAREER
1942: Born in Stamford, Connecticut
1970: Elected to Connecticut State Senate
1983: Elected as Connecticut attorney general
1989: Wins bid for US Senate
2000: First Jewish candidate for vice president
Unsuccessful bid for 2004 presidential nomination
"Hillary Clinton has already gotten the message from the
Lieberman-Lamont race," he said, noting that last week she called for
the resignation of Donald Rumsfeld, Mr Bush's defence secretary.
Top Republican strategists may take short-term delight in Mr
Lieberman's humiliation, hoping it will enable them to continue
portraying the Democrats as weak on defence.
But Mr Sabato said it was the Republicans who had the most to fear from
the unpopularity of the president and the war.
"The real question is what happens with Bush and Iraq through November.
"If the war somehow ceases to be the disaster that it is, and if Bush
somehow manages to rise to something close to 50% [approval rating],
then this could backfire on the Democrats.
"But as long as Bush and the war remain unpopular, then this will not
be a problem for the Democrats in 2006," he predicted.
Criticism critical
Mr Sabato cautioned against reading too much into the results of one
election in one small liberal north-eastern state.
"Americans are going to be interested in this result, but this is not
determinative of how people will vote outside of Connecticut."
But Mr Matzzie of MoveOn.org said any politician too close to Mr Bush
would suffer the same fate as Mr Lieberman.
"There are millions of disgruntled Republicans and independents around
the country. Why didn't this happen to other politicians around the
country who shared Lieberman's position on the war?
"Because they were more critical of the president."

Già, speriamo che tolgano supporto a israele e vediamo come gli
olmertiani eletti se la cavano da soli, sarebbe interessante vedere
quanto durano questi massacaratori di bambini, da soli a combattere
contro tutto il mondo arabo.
