Here is a summary of Max Blumenthal's report:

May 27, 2008

Senator Joseph Lieberman is scheduled to headline Pastor John Hagee's 2008 Christians United For Israel Washington-Israel Summit this July 22. In accepting Hagee's invitation, Lieberman became the most senior elected representative confirmed to appear at the annual gala. Last year, when Lieberman spoke at Hagee's summit, he compared the Texas televangelist to the biblical prophet Moses, dubbing him "an Ish Elochim," or "a man of God." Unless he rescinds his pledge to appear at this year's summit, Lieberman can be expected to deliver another soul-stirring tribute.

Hagee's vitriolic condemnation of Catholicism, his jeremiad declaring Hurricane Katrina divine punishment for New Orleans' hosting of a "homosexual rally," and his generally disturbing apocalyptic theology became national news last February when John McCain accepted his endorsement in a widely publicized ceremony.

While initially resisting pressure to reject Hagee's endorsement, McCain finally ended his relationship with Hagee when a sermon by the preacher describing the Holocaust as the will of God registered on the mainstream media's radar.

In truth, Hagee stated in no uncertain terms that Hitler was an agent of God, a "hunter" of Jews, which ultimately spurred the birth of Israel. Israel, for course, is where all Jews will then convert to Christianity presumably in some sort of end-times Cecil B. DeMille extravaganza choreographed by Hagee.

Rosner, the Israeli newspaper Ha'artez DC correspondent, said this about the McCain-Lieberman relationship in late February:

Israeli experts on American politics said in recent weeks that a campaign between Obama and McCain will place Israel at center stage and will require extreme caution on the part of Israel. McCain is hoping to attract Jewish American votes, both because of his many years of support for Israel, and also as a result of the endorsement he received from Senator Joe Lieberman.

Lieberman is often mentioned as a possible member of the McCain administration, possibly as secretary of defense.

Secretary of Defense? That's what it says.

Still, how can Joe Lieberman be expected to give up the centerpiece of Israeli Middle East policy: a US attack on Iran, which Hagee advocates. Joe will show.
