Joe Lieberman and the Two-Headed Turtle

As intense as the anticipation over Obama’s [VP] choice is, it pales next to the hubbub over whether McCain is going to tap Lieberman, who was Al Gore’s running mate in 2000.

We would speak of it with awe, like that story about the two-headed turtle in Brooklyn.
