Senator Lieberman

It should not surprise anyone that I have almost no current politicians that I really respect or admire, but one of the rare exceptions is (sadly) retiring from the Senate.  Not only did he have the foresight and wisdom to become an Independent (i.e. thinker) about six years ago - this interview shows him to be every bit the level-headed, thoughtful leader that this country needs.   While I don't agree with him on everything (i.e. unqualified support for Israel's shenanigans for example), I would definitely trade him for any 50 of the newly-elected or reelected crop of partisans in Congress.
