...consensus on free trade—has returned glaringly to the fore. A New York Times columnist recently pointed out that most of the Democratic hopefuls have shifted toward Dick Gephardt’s protectionist stance. Dennis Kucinich is calling for the outright repeal of NAFTA. And Joe Lieberman is stuck in the lonely role of defending Clinton’s laissez faire trade philosophy...
...private gallery owners with whom Ghia claims to have done business, according to Indian police, is Arnold Lieberman, one of America's foremost dealers in Asian antiquities. When contacted, Lieberman said he had never met Ghia. "I'm a known person [in the industry]," he said (and thus an easy target).

And surely, surely Joe Lieberman has something resembling a personality under that thick skin. Hopeless though his candidacy may be, Al Sharpton will probably charm the crowd tonight. And Dean is certainly charming New Hampshire—largely because voters think he isn’t hesitating to let his personality (some would say anger) show through. If the Democratic establishment wants...
