( Darn. The conspiracy has been exposed.) It's no surprise that Senator Lieberman has tapped Marshall Wittmann of the Democratic Leadership Council to be his communications director and informal political advisor. During the campaign, Wittmann, a registered Independent, frequently battled the leftwing bloggers who were trying to put the anti-war Ned Lamont in office. But Connecticut voters gave Lamont and his far left backers a good thumping on November 7. Like his new boss, Wittmann's a big fan of the late Henry "Scoop" Jackson, the Democratic senator from the state of Washington who fought his party's dominant McGovern wing. The bottom line: don't look for Lieberman singing "Kumbaya" with the liberal Senate leadership anytime soon.
