Lieberman's Losing Bid for Influence

The junior Senator from Connecticut, who was elected as an independent last year after losing the faith of his home state's Democratic Party, continues to flaunt his tie-breaking status, all but calling his former partisan colleagues terrorist coddlers and daring them to do something – anything – about it.

Never mind that Mr. Lieberman has been every bit the partisan that he accuses Democrats of being on the Iraq question: There hasn't been a single consequential vote on which he's strayed from the G.O.P. line.
