#1 The last principled Democrat. And if McCain wins and then the Republicans regain control of the Senate we could see them giving him back a chairmanship (of an appropriate committee).

#2 Methinks they shouldn't be quite so vocal on the revenge moves they will make. Biden says they will prosecute Bush and his staff. Not a goood move to announce your scorched earth plans this early.

#4 Is this the same party which did nothing when Joe got turned into blackface?

Did they just say that he will be punished for his beliefs? What kind of strong arming is that?

#5 "The Democratic Caucus will reassess the situation with Sen. Lieberman after the election,"

Translation: "We'll see how secure our majority is in the Senate before we risk pissing him off"

#6 Considering how well his own party treated him during his last election, I would be surprised if he gave a rat's ass.

#7 Quite right Bondie. It's the least of his worries I'm sure. McCain will look after him quite well.

#8 "I think [Lieberman] owes it to the American people to look into the camera and tell them the truth," he added.
You mean the "truth", don't you?

He means "Teh Troof".

#9 If they pull his tickets as revenge, I guarantee you'll see Joe cross the aisle after McCain wins.
