MORE KISSES TO COME. This seems almost too perfect to believe:

According to a close Lieberman adviser, the President’s political guru, Karl Rove, has reached out to the Lieberman camp with a message straight from the Oval Office: “The boss wants to help. Whatever we can do, we will do.”

At any rate, it’s a bit hard to figure what the prez can do to help any endangered candidate this year, let alone Joe.

UPDATE: Joe Conason writes in to remind me of the Lieberman campaign’s accusations of “Rovian tactics” regarding the alleged hacking of their website yesterday. Karl doesn’t take it personally.
