Lieberman refuses to debate Maddow on health care because she has a ‘point of view.’ from Think Progress

MSNBC's Rachel Maddow has repeatedly tried to get Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-CT) to come on her show and debate health care. However, he and his office have refused to even respond to her requests for statements. Last week, Mike Stark caught up with Lieberman and asked him whether he'd go on Maddow's show. The senator declined, saying the tv host has "a point of view":

STARK: You've expressed an interest to have a serious policy debate instead of all the invective and that. And I think one of the best folks from the progressive side is Rachel Maddow —

LIEBERMAN: (LAUGHTER)

STARK: — and she's been trying to get you on her show for a really long time.

LIEBERMAN: She's got a point of view. I think we're going to have this debate on the floor of the Senate. And I look forward to it. In other words —

STARK: There's no chance you'll do her show?

LIEBERMAN: I don't think so.
