Expiation? Just seems like a bit of role-switching to me. Now it's Joe Lieberman who's getting blow jobs, from the media. E.g., Slate's take on the VP-designate today: "'Like Bush's choice of Dick Cheney, Lieberman is a shrewd pick because he reinforces what's appealing about Gore--high intelligence and sound moral impulses--while serving as a corrective to what has been unappealing and ill-judged about the Gore campaign so far --its shrillness and populist posturing,' Jacob Weisberg writes. 'A New Democrat of scholarly mien and an almost serene temperament, Lieberman may serve as a pivot that allows Gore to reorient his candidacy in a more promising direction.'"
