I think Lieberman's an asshole. He's uncritically supportive of Israel, which makes him recklessly bomb-happy when it comes to the Middle East (like bomb-bomb-bomb-Iran McCain).
He's also supported and enabled a lot of very bad Bush policies (like McCain - and, in fairness, a lot of congressional Democrats).
Being bipartisan is not a virtue when it means surrendering your principles and letting the other side do as it damn well pleases. There is no moderate, centrist, bipartisan consensus position on unwarranted wiretapping, suspending habeas corpus, engaging in torture and extraordinary rendition to facilitate torture, ignoring congressional subpoenas.
Lieberman also bears an unsettlingly striking resemblance to Chancellor Palpatine. :)
