AS SENATE RACE TIGHTENS, LIEBERMAN CHANGES RELIGION

First, Joe Lieberman announced he would become an Independent to try to save his Senate seat. Now, as his Democratic opponent gains on him in the homestretch, Lieberman has announced that he has become a WASP. “A Jew in Connecticut is like a matzo ball in a watercress finger sandwich,” Lieberman said. “It’s just wrong. So I have given up Judaism for either the Presbyterian or Lutheran church—I forget which one. Now, along with my good friend, George W. Bush, I can focus on the war on torah.”
