Is there a word?

I have racked my brain to come up with a word to describe Joe Lieberman. Here is his latest:

Yet in hindsight, some Bush advisers believe they misjudged the politics that would greet Bush's Jan. 10 unveiling of the new plan. They understood that many if not most Democrats would not welcome a troop increase but thought at least some would grudgingly go along — not anticipating what ended up as near-universal opposition by Democrats and visceral anger even among some Republicans.

They had hoped more members of Congress would embrace the advice that Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman (I-Conn.) gave the president during one session in the Cabinet Room. "Mr. President, I have two words for you," Lieberman said, according to officials who were present. " 'Be bold.'"

I think 'enabler' works best. What a wanker.

For people like Joe Lieberman and George W. Bush, being bold means being willing to carelessly end the lives of thousands.
