Just published: The Centrist Solution: How We Made Government Work and Can Make It Work Again by former Sen. Joe Lieberman.
Hartford Courant: “For the past 15 years, former U.S. Sen. Joe Lieberman has never spoken publicly about the secret help that he received from Republicans Karl Rove and Elizabeth Dole to help him defeat Democrat Ned Lamont in the contentious 2006 Senate race.”
“But in a new book and an interview, Lieberman says that Rove, the chief political strategist for then-President George W. Bush, told him that he would do anything possible to help Lieberman against Lamont, an anti-war Democrat at a time when the Iraq War was highly controversial.”
The book also has a story about a secret ambassadorship offer from President Bush in 2004.
