Liebertarian? What's Boortz smoking?

Boortz muses on the possibility of Joe Lieberman jumping parties. Well, yeah, it could interesting and all. But then he says:

How about switching to the Libertarian Party?

Yeah, right, Neal. Look, the main substantive difference between the Democrats and the Bush admi. is the Iraq war. It's really the only current idea they have, the rest of their ideas being stale rehashes of economic ideas that failed so long ago that the Republicans think they're conservative ideas. So Lieberman going 'Pug is at least within the realm of the possible. But he's in no way a philosophical libertarian, and given that majority opinion about Iraq in the LP these days makes Cindy Sheehan look like a neocon, there's really no motive for him to jump in that direction. Nor would his presense be welcome by anone besides Boortz, who is buddy-buddy with Bob "no drugs, no Wicca" Barr, who is now an LP Region Rep, and who really needs to be Zumboed on the drug issue.
