Let's make this birthday one to remember.

83 years old (Born on February 24, 1942)

Happy Birthday, Senator Lieberman! You've always been a man who marches to the beat of your own drum—like that unforgettable moment in 2008 when you boldly crossed party lines and endorsed John McCain. Who knew bipartisan friendships could cause such delightful chaos?

From representing Connecticut with distinction for over two decades, to shaking things up as an independent thinker on Capitol Hill—you've certainly kept politics interesting (and pundits guessing). Here's hoping this birthday brings laughter, joy—and perhaps fewer phone calls from confused pollsters.

Cheers to another year of being unapologetically yourself; may it be filled with happiness!
