Paging Ezra Klein

Yesterday, Ezra Klein slandered Joe Lieberman, writing:

Lieberman seems primarily motivated by torturing liberals. That is to say, he seems willing to cause the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people in order to settle an old electoral score.

And:

Not too long ago, Lieberman agreed that these lives were far too important to be sacrificed due to political pique.

Today, this shows up on Memeorandum:

In a blow to the bill grinding through the Senate, Howard Dean bluntly called for the bill to be killed in a pre-recorded interview set to air later this afternoon, denouncing it as “the collapse of health care reform in the United States Senate,” the reporter who conducted the interview tells me.

That murderous bastard! Am I right Ezra? Or am I right?
