Not missing Joe at all

I was just thinking the other night that I'm so old, I remember when Joe Lieberman was my state Senator. If memory serves, he was always an insufferable prima donna, looking for the limelight. That aside, I don't have much else to say about him but Gail Collins farewell to Holy Joe is worth reading today. It starts like this:

On Wednesday, Senator Joe Lieberman of Connecticut announced that he won't be a candidate for re-election in 2012. Normally people look particularly appealing when they're promising to go away. This time, not so much.

Seriously, read the rest. It's funny because it's true.
