...unwillingness to criticize Bush has its roots in politics. "He flew too close to the sun," said a Connecticut Democrat who believes that Lieberman played nice with the President in the hope of securing both the Democratic and the Republican nominations for Senate this year. (The G.O.P. seems intent on running a hapless benchwarmer named Alan Schlesinger for the seat.) No politician is exempt from hubris, and so there may be something to the theory.
