What NYT didn't say about Joe Lieberman but should have

From TPMElectionCentral:

There are two facts about Joe Lieberman that the big news orgs simply can't bring themselves to tell their readers and viewers.

The first is that during the 2006 campaign against Ned Lamont, Lieberman and his aides vowed multiple times that he would continue caucusing with the Democrats. The second is that Lieberman also vowed to help elect a Democrat to the White House in 2008.

Thanks Greg. The NYT also forgot to mention that Lieberman couldn't get re-elected in Connecticut now. Per Markos in his 7-8-08 column at TheHill.com:

Today, according to the latest of the Research 2000 polls, taken June 30 to July 2, Lieberman would take only 19 percent of the Democratic vote and 36 percent of the independent vote. Republicans love him -- he'd get 74 percent of their vote -- but that would still add up to a resounding 36-51 loss to Ned Lamont.

And good riddance.
