Lieberman: Get the Hell Out!

Senator Joe Lieberman, turncoat Democrat turned Independent turned attack dog for the McCain campaign, is according to reports, "considering his options" in wake of his post-election discussion with majority leader Harry Reid. Reid told Joe: look, I'll consent to having you continue to caucus with the Democrats, but to do so you hafta give up your chairmanship of the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Reform. Joe said that was "unacceptable."

Unacceptable! I'll tell you what's unacceptable, you grinning old fool. It's your presence in the Democratic caucus at all. Get your ass out! Go suck up to your Republican buddies on the other side of the aisle. You expect to keep your considerable influence as chairman after shilling for your buddy McCain and launching vicious attacks on Obama during the campaign? You must be toking some righteous crack. (You can help hurry old Joe over to his new friends by going here.)

You know why old Joe ain't too happy about this prospect, right? If he switches parties, he starts at the bottom of their seniority list. He loses his place on every other list that Reid has where seniority counts.

Fact is, Lieberman has no options. He's a used up piece of garbage in either party. And he'll lose his seat in the next election in Connecticut. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.
