Here is my funny Joe Lieberman story. When he was running as the vice president candidate in the presidential election, my wife and I landed after dark at the New Haven airport, and unloaded a pile of guns on the ramp next to our aircraft. Joe's Secret Service detail was right there with his plane and saw my wife with our Vizsla, Parker, and said "what is your dog's name." My wife didn't miss a beat and replied "Republican."

One of the few classic liberals I had respect for. RIP Sir.
