Why would anybody be surprised that Joseph Lieberman attended, and dined in fabulous fashion at the table of, William Buckley?

Joseph Lieberman owes his first Senate election to the endorsement of the National Review.

Announcing: Buckleys for Lieberman – transcript of press conference with William F. Buckley Jr – interview

AND

In a public debate with Democratic opponent Attorney General Joe Lieberman last week, Weicker attacked the Pledge of Allegiance. “Ronald Reagan tried to take us down a lot of wrong paths . . . and only one man stood up.” (He meant Lowell Weicker.) Asked about Buckpac (Buckleys for Lieberman), Lieberman said, “Buckley and tens of thousands of others can’t stand you for your political grandstanding.”

It was the classic match-up between a RINO and a DINO, with a great deal of cross-voting. I note that there was recent rumour that Lowell Weicker might run again for the Senate, an improbability which is nonetheless charming.
