...addition, this move assumes that Liebermann is one to act rationally, or to care about his popularity in the first place. This may not be the case, since Lieberman is even now opposing reforms that he once avidly purported. In the 2000 presidential race, the then-vice presidential candidate supported the bi-partisan expansion of Medicare. He ran on the same platform again in his 2004 presidential bid.

"It's important for any sport to continue to raise the bar and move forward," Paul Wylie, a 1992 silver medalist, told me after the men's short programs. "I have to admit, as a performer who did two triple Axels in my program in Albertville, I am surprised that more guys aren't doing the quad...
