It seems that Robert Novak still has a scoop or two left in him. Today, he whipped up a column to deliver the news of yet another conservative naysayer to the idea of John McCain selecting pro-choice Joe Lieberman as his VP. That conservative? Why it's none other than "Traitor Joe" himself:

Influential McCain backers, plus McCain himself, would pick the pro-choice liberal from Connecticut if they thought they could get away with it.

But they can't get away with it--and this has been made clear to McCain by none other than Joe Lieberman himself.

What else can't McCain "get away" with? Altering the GOP platform so that it permits abortion in cases of incest, rape, and when the life of the mother is in danger.

UPDATE: Ugh. Why is no Novak story ever true? Lieberman says the "prince of darkness" is full of it, and that he never told McCain not to pick him. Was this story payback for when McCain's team duped Novak into some free publicity?

Our New Approach to Comments

In an effort to encourage the same level of civil dialogue among Politics Daily’s readers that we expect of our writers – a “civilogue,” to use the term coined by PD’s Jeffrey Weiss – we are requiring commenters to use their AOL or AIM screen names to submit a comment, and we are reading all comments before publishing them. Personal attacks (on writers, other readers, Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around.
