Shrum ---The Democrats aren't going to let a small thing like

[Gloria]

Lieberman screw things up (sic). They'll give him his chairmanship and it will all be worked out.

UGH

[TheDonkey]

1. it's true and it's necessary. Can't have Lieberman leaving completely

and then we've lost the senate.

[Pithy Cherub]

3. Traitor Joe just may pull that kind

of a stupid stunt anyway. He's ethically challenged and certainly doesn't respect REAL Democrats.

[JDPriestly]

10. "Traitor Joe" is now the most powerful man in the U.S. government.

Bar none. His vote is the swing vote.

Lieberman will make or break legislation in the Senate. That's the reality of politics. You hear a lot in liberal circles about the marvels of a three-party or multi-party system. Those who think that kind of system is so wonderful are about to learn how power is distributed in such a system.

2. What's next?

[Gloria]

4. He'll continue propping up the Reich--not to be trusted.

Watch him screw us over....

[SouthernBelle82]

11. I agree

What if he has made a deal with them to be a spy to warn them of secret plans?

[MGD]

5. We can put all kinds of pressure on him now. He'll play ball or he'll be chairman of the latrines.

[truthisfreedom]

6. we own him now.

totally.

[LynneSin]

8. No, he'll be chairman of a republican lead committee

We could feasibly have a one seat advantage which means if he wants he could give that one seat advantage to the republicans. As long as he isn't on Judiciary, I don't care what they do with Lieberman

[anitar1]

7. he'll be sucking up now, I think. n/t

[oasis]

9. Lieberman accused Wes Clark of not being a real Dem during the 2004

primary race. I wonder if Joe knows the meaning of "real Dem".

[TheCowsCameHome]

12. Better to have him than some hard headed RW boob like Santorum-type

As pissed as I am about Joe, it could have been worse...........
