Lieberman as VP is ridiculous

McCain tries to suck up all the oxygen by fueling some very unrealistic talk of Lieberman as VP. It'll never happen.

First there's the issue that he's not a Republican, and, by rules, that would create lots of hurdles at the convention.

Second, although Lieberman hews to the Republican "bomb everything" foreign policy, he's way apart on almost every other issue.

But third, and most importantly, with a 72 year old candidate, do you really think the GOP would stand for Lieberman as VP? Stand for Lieberman to be the party favorite the election after McCain?

The McCain folks are just talking about this to try to steal some spotlight. That's why they "leaked" the Aug 29 date this AM.

Also, don't miss the AP calling Lieberman a "prick" in a typo.
