...wasn't any one note Joe Lieberman struck that set the separation-of-church-and-state watchdogs growling. It was the whole sacred symphony. Sure, he began his maiden speech last month with a prayer and some Scripture, but no one wanted to pounce the moment the first Jewish national candidate mentioned God.
