Connecticut’s ultra-liberal Ned Lamont, a businessman running against Joe Lieberman for the Senate, has made a new friend: Michael Schiavo.

You remember Michael Schiavo. He was the “husband” of Terri Schiavo. Terri fell into a coma Feb. 25, 1990 from complications due to an eating disorder and chemical imbalance. She died on March 31, 2005 after Michael Schiavo found a new honey and fought for Terri’s death as if his life depended upon it. Via court order, Terri was starved and dehydrated to death.

Mr. Lamont said of Terri Schiavo-like cases:

“There ought to be a huge distance between my hospital room and the federal government.”

Sen. Lieberman said, on the other hand:

“I believe that certainly in cases where there is not a living will … I feel very strongly that we ought to honor life and we ought not to create a system where people are being deprived of nutrition or hydration in a way that ends their lives. This was a heartbreaking case.”

Wow, no wonder Lieberman is at odds with the Democratic Party. He has a heart.

Schiavo and Lamont appear in a press conference tomorrow.
