Joining his road-show pals McCain and Lindsay Graham, Lieberman signed on to a letter to President Obama regarding waterboarding and other means of torture that said:
"We have also strongly opposed the overly coercive interrogation techniques, including waterboarding, that these memos deemed legal."
However, two days earlier, ensconced in his comfort zone at Fox News, Lieberman said:
"Well, I take a minority position on this. Most people think it's definitely torture. The truth is, it has mostly a psychological impact on people....We ought to be able to use something like waterboarding.
Uh, he did say that it was a terrible thing to do if we had to do it. But...
Sorry, Joe. You lost me at the last trickle. Waterboarding is not good to the last drop.

The first rule for public figures is: Know your audience. JoeL scores a 10 in the category of "knowing your audience." BTW, don't give him a break. He's still runing for the VP slot with the next Dixiecon endorsed by Rushbo.
