The NYT has analyzed LiebesBush's statements over the last few years and the result is LiebesBush will say anything at any time if it suits him politically.

A close examination of hundreds of Mr. Lieberman's statements on Iraq over the past five years shows that while he repeatedly praised President Bush, he was far more likely to criticize him. But those critiques dropped off markedly in the last two years, even as the insurgency in Iraq gained strength.

At the same time, Mr. Lieberman made negative comments about fellow Democrats three times as often as he made positive comments, particularly after his failed campaign for his party's presidential nomination in 2004.

Near the end of this year's primary, Mr. Lieberman ramped up his criticism of the Bush administration's handling of the war, and soon after his loss, called for Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld to resign. More recently he has called for "bringing the troops home." Yet he continues to strongly oppose setting a timetable for withdrawal, echoing the position of the White House.

As the battle of interpretation continues, The New York Times sorted 362 of Mr. Lieberman's war-related comments since the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks into content-related categories, and found that he has alternated his arguments about the parties and the war's prosecution, shifting tone at critical points as political circumstances have evolved.

Saying he has been "shifting tone at critical points" is just a nice way of saying, "Lieberman will say whatever it takes to get elected." Especially considering his more left wing statements before the primary and his shameless appeal to GOP voters subsequent to losing the Democratic nomination.



The question is, which is the real LiebesBush? I think the picture above indicates it's the Republican LiebesBush.
