Speaking of Joe Lieberman

Here's a blurb from "The Unbranding" in the New Yorker:
Lieberman is a study in the dangers of steroidal muscularity, becoming an outlier in his own party. (He has edged to the right as his running mate in the 2000 election, Al Gore, has moved leftward.) His fate was sealed with a kiss, planted on his cheek by Bush, just after the President delivered his State of the Union address. “That may have been the last straw for some of the people in Connecticut, the blogger types,” Lieberman told me. But he is unapologetic about his defense of Bush’s Iraq policy, saying, “Bottom line, I think Bush has it right.”
The fuzzy slipper brigade strikes again!

Why don't the MSM cast Lieberman as a Maverick? You know, like that outlier in the Republican party ... what's his name ... McCain.
