Lieberman says that if asked to join a ticket, he would tell McCain, "You can find much better." For once, Joe, we agree with you.

Your support is crucial…AP via Breitbart:
“No, I’d tell him, ‘Thanks, John, I’ve been there, I’ve done that. You can find much better,'” Lieberman told The Associated Press during an interview Tuesday in his Senate office. “I’m not seeking anything else.”
The Connecticut senator said he was unequivocally ruling out sharing the GOP ticket with McCain.
Lieberman’s endorsement of McCain in December and the campaigning he since has done in states such as New Hampshire, Michigan, South Carolina and Florida have stoked speculation that the Arizona senator might choose Lieberman as his running mate.
With an uncertain future and a new administration casting doubt on press freedoms, the danger is clear: The truth is at risk.
