Myth #1: Joe Lieberman is a moderate. When Al Gore '69 chose the Connecticut senator, the media and Democratic faithful were gleeful about Lieberman's supposedly centrist message. The truth is, however, Lieberman isn't nearly as moderate as he is portrayed. The ultra-liberal Americans for Democratic Action (ADA) has given him a gold-star rating, second only to Massachusetts' favorite Senator, Edward M.

...spray ammunition at a beast until he struck a haunch or horn or dewlap. And then he'd wear the poor thing down. The godfather of American conservation and founder of the national parks was capable of gleeful sacrilege and atrocity when he got the scent. In "The Wilderness Hunter," Roosevelt records this moment: "On the way an eagle came soaring over head, and I shot at it twice without success. Having once killed an eagle on the wing with a rifle, I always have a lurking hope that sometime I may be able to repeat the feat. I revenged...
