Senator Joe Lieberman is dead at 82, reportedly due to complications from a fall. I didn't follow the latter part of his political career, but there was one election where I wrote in my own presidential ticket, with Rudy Giuliani for president and ol' Joe for VP. So, some years ago at least, there was a time when I liked the guy, or at least hated him less than the other guys. His pairing-up with Al Gore always struck me as weird and awkward, but politics is nothing if not strangely recombinant. RIP, Joe.
