Disingenuous


Giving a false appearance of simple frankness.

Lieberman fits the definition perfectly. After losing to Lamont in the Democratic primary for the senate seat from Connecticut, Lieberman made about as many frank and conflicted statements as possible. article

Making odd platitudes about a way to get past all the ugly partisanship in Washington, compared to Lieberman's actual faithful support of the Neo-Conservative/Bush war agenda, fall hopelessly flat on the antiwar people. A new poll released today states that 60% of Americans now oppose the Iraq War. article

Let me offer a disingenuous on the spot commentary on Lieberman.

Its hard to lose and give up that kind of power, Lieberman appears to be in a state of denial over this loss. All that loss of prestige, all the ego boosting ass kissing, all that access to unbridled power, tough thing to let go of. Watching Lieberman pull this third party stunt reminds me of a junkie spinning and lying to find money for an overdue fix. This is pathetic and an embarrassment primarily for Lieberman.

Let me offer disingenuous advice.

Lieberman, show dignity and savvy, leave gracefully and with honor. The same sort of platitude that you no doubt will spew about how to get our troops out of Iraq.

I also saw a man in denial. Well written.
