Holy Joe

MANIFESTO

Once again, Connecticut's citizens have seen the prevaricating ways of Senator Sanctimony.

The same man who stated that "I want to help end the war in Iraq" in August and "No one wants to end the war in Iraq more than I do" in October showed his true colors this afternoon by voting for an amendment to the Iraq spending bill that would have elongated the war.

Fortunately, this heinous legislation was defeated, no thanks to Connecticut's junior senator.

UPDATE — Greg Sargent has more on this phenomenon here.
