A Lieberman Library

Al Gore will announce Tuesday that Joseph Lieberman, a Connecticut senator and Orthodox Jew, will be his running mate. In 1998, Slate's William Saletan analyzed the spins surrounding Lieberman's public condemnation of President Clinton's adultery.

In 1996, Cullen Murphy outlined the differences between "Jesuitical" and "Talmudic." And last month, Timothy Noah examined one of Lieberman's pet projects, the creation of a federal "chief information officer." Earlier this year, David Greenberg gave a "History Lesson" on vice-presidential selection, and Stephen Chapman argued that running mates ultimately don't matter.
