Is Lieberman the new Bolton and will that allow Bush to grab the Senate for the R's?

this would be a move worthy of karl rove, who, you can bet your knickers, was the one who thought of it...

While much of Washington kept rapt attention on the health of Democratic Senator Tim Johnson of South Dakota, an article in Salon today speculated that President George W. Bush could tip the Senate to a Republican majority via other means -- namely, appointing Senator Joseph Lieberman of Connecticut to be America's next Ambassador to the UN.

Salon political columnist Joe Conason notes that if Lieberman were to leave the Senate, Connecticut's Republican Governor would be able to appoint a Republican to fill his seat. Knowing this, Conason reasons, the White House could use the enticement of the UN posting as a means to encourage Lieberman to exit the US Senate.

and, if rove DIDN'T think of it, thank you, joe conason, for suggesting it...
