New York mayor praises Lieberman's independence
STAMFORD, Conn. (AP) -- Republican New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg praised Sen. Joe Lieberman's independence Monday, saying the three-term Democrat is willing to work across party lines in an era of partisan gridlock.
"I think the voters of Connecticut understand they need proven independent leadership. Joe Lieberman provides that," Bloomberg said at a news conference after greeting commuters with Lieberman at the Stamford train station. "I think people of all parties are just tired of the political bickering." The event was a chance for both men to showcase their bipartisan credentials.
