Lieberman-Bush Ned Lamont thinks it's a real possibility and he's not the only one. Monday morning on "The Young Turks", Cenk Uygur spoke with Lamont about Joe Lieberman and his appearance on "Face The Nation" last Sunday in which he called for military action against Iran.

Ned Lamont: A lot of what Senator Lieberman does he does with the understanding of the Bush Administration. I hope he is not carrying water for the president. I hope this is not part of a concerted effort where the White House is not going to start threatening military action more and more. This is just the initial thrust to have Senator Lieberman throw this idea out into the market place and see if it gains any momentum. Transcript and video here...

Also appearing on the show was Senior Editor for Newsweek's Washington bureau, Michael Hirsh.

Cenk Uygur: We had Ned Lamont on the show earlier, and he thinks that Lieberman might be working with some people in the White House to coordinate a new PR strategy to try to pump up this idea of attacking Iran. Do you think there’s any chance that’s true?

Michael Hirsh: I think there is a chance that’s true because we know how close Lieberman has been to Bush and the White House. And it’s something that we in the media world need to be checking out. Full video here...
