Rove offers to help Lieberman (seriously)

Well, it took all of 12 hours.
Lieberman goes down to defeat in Connecticut, sounds for all the world like a petulant Republican while deriding "partisan politics" after an inter-party primary (someone please explain the physics of that one), and slaps aside the party he has belonged to for decades to run as an Independent.

The sun comes up on the ashes of Lieberman's political career, and lo and behold, here is Karl Rove offering his help. "According to a close Lieberman adviser," reports ABC News, "the President's political guru, Karl Rove, has reached out to the Lieberman camp with a message straight from the Oval Office: 'The boss wants to help. Whatever we can do, we will do.'"
