Joe Lieberman’s death is a stark reminder of the insanity that has consumed his party.
The four-term senator from Connecticut and first-ever Jewish VP candidate was an honorable, reasonable man.
Over the course of his career, he showed he was unafraid to break with party orthodoxy.
He was the first national Dem to take then-President Bill Clinton to task publicly over his affair with Monica Lewinsky, a risky move given the intense polarization around Clinton’s shenanigans and alleged perjury to obfuscate them.
