One senator, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he is a fucking wimp...

Fixed.

Holy Joe apologized for saying mean things.

Dead and maimed children can't begin to match that.

I need a drink....for about the next month....

I guess they sure showed ... somebody ... something. I'm embarrassed for them.

Well that makes sense, given that Joey had his wittle feelings hurt.

One senator, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the meeting was private, said Lieberman spoke openly about the rejection he faced in 2006, when many Democrats supported his opponent during the Connecticut Senate race.

I was just fucking wondering whether that was before of after the, you know, Democratic fucking holy shit Party speaking through the you know democratic fucking system known as the Democratic Party fucking Primaries rejected him by VOTING FOR NED LAMONT, THEREBY MAKING HIM THE DEMOCRATIC FUCKING PARTY'S NOMINEE FOR THE FUCKING SENATE.

Did he also feel the pain and rejection of the Republican candidate in that race, who was also rejected and opposed by the Democrats?

God, what a douchebag.

Sigh.

I don't know whether I feel like I got defeated, but I do feel a mighty surge of very unhealthy righteous anger over this whole situation.

I think we need to do some serious house cleaning in the Senate.

God how I miss LBJ. He'd have had Lieberman's ears chewed off by rabid rats before dumping his corpse in the Connecticut River.

Holy Joe is what he is. Unless the Democrats can kick him out of the Senate entirely, they may as well keep him where they can keep an eye on him. The guy's an irredeemable prick and a complete waste of air, but it's not unreasonable that the Senate leadership decided the status quo is a more useful solution than herding him into the wingnut caucus.

"He spoke earnestly of the pain he felt when he was rejected by the Democratic Party in his re-election and in turn, the rejection he felt from many in the caucus who campaigned against him after decades and decades of friendship,"

OK, everybody, sing it with me!

O/~ Kumbaya my lorrrrd, kumbayaaaaaa... o/~

Here's where the Senate (small d) democrats are going to have their asses handed to them in this session.

The Republicans not only would have kicked Lieberman out (hell, they forced Jeffers out for much less!), they would have shot his dog, too.

Weird. His Holiness got his feelies hurted when the Democrats supported the Democrat for his Senate seat, and so he took his revenge by (1) doing absolutely nothing as Homeland Security chair and (2) campaigning as obnoxiously as possible for the Republican Presidential candiate. So we're even! Bygones!

You know that "alternate universe" scientists keep talking about, where the laws of physics may be slightly different than in our own? Well, we're in it. Right now.

Look, there's one and only one reason Joe Lieberman still has his chairmanship:

Insurance.

Connecticut is the insurance capital of the US (specifically Hartford).

Piss Lieberman off, and you lose his Rolodex.

You want national health care? You're going to have to give Lieberman and Dodd a lot of slack. I'm just wondering what Dodd is getting in the way of candy.

I seriously do NOT get it. What the fuck kind of people ARE these who would embrace a shitbucket like Lie-berman? Who the fuck ARE they and what the fuck are they doing working for US?

Who the fuck ARE they and what the fuck are they doing working for US?

Well, not to beat the obvious dead elephant in the room ... but it's politics, isn't it?

The devil, as ever, is in the details.

Well, that certainly confirms my belief that everything, deep down, is about Lieberman. Everything.
