A Newly Meaningful Relationship?

Romance is in the air today across the land. But in Washington, the buzz continues about "The Kiss." No, not Gustav Klimt's famous painting.
[Actually, I think he's thinking about Rodin's statue "The Kiss," but the Klimt painting is very nice!]
It's the big fat one an exuberant President Bush planted on Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman's right cheek as he waded through the Capitol crowd after the State of the Union a couple of weeks ago.

The Connecticut Democrat said he didn't mind it and thought Bush was thanking him for his support of the administration's foreign policy. Or maybe it was for Lieberman's not dismissing outright Bush's Social Security proposal.

Or maybe it was something else. There's been K Street chatter, our colleague Jeffrey H. Birnbaum
[Birnbaum's a Dem loser who's a secret Bushie wannabe and no, I don't care if he's on FoxNews!--Jen]
tells us, that Lieberman could be on an administration list to replace Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld in the next year or so.
[BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA! The Dimocrats wish!]

That would be convenient for Lieberman, whose term is up in 2006, and could give Connecticut Gov. M. Jodi Rell (R) an opportunity to appoint a Republican to the seat for at least a few months before the election, inching the GOP closer to a filibuster-proof Senate.

Or maybe it's just love?

Trust me, it's just love.
President Bush is a loving guy!
He's not going have Rummy resign because he's done a superb job as Secretary of Defense and won 2 campaigns in the WOT already!
And Joe Lieberman's a nice man (for a Democrat) and his heart and his head are in the right place, but he can't be trusted with a position like this, especially now when the war's at a critical juncture.
(What does Joe really know about the being the head dude at the Pentagon?)
The boys at the WashedUpPost are obviously smoking the primo weed and having their opium reveries of "their" people being gently placed in the Bush Administration...clearly, it's not because the Dems are going to get back into power by being elected!
(BTW, isn't this the 2nd time the MSM has run this "story" about Lieberman being Bush's SecDef up the flagpole?
No-one's saluting this time, either.)
I found this at Drudge--where else?
He picks up every weird pro-Democrat story there is, even though he's supposed to be a "Conservative!"
