Nice bit of spin: Joe Lieberman is John McCain's Hillary Clinton

Last week, Republicans (and silly Democrats) floated the claim that, if Obama had had any stones, he would have picked Hillary instead of Biden.

This week, it looks like that accusation cuts both ways; here's Obama spokesman Bill Burton yesterday:

If John McCain really wanted to show he's the maverick he purports to be, he wouldn't just have had Joe Lieberman giving a speech. He would have put Joe Lieberman on the ticket, but he was forced not to by the right wing of his party.

Ouch.
