CNN) -- Democratic Sen. Joe Lieberman has twice in recent days said "no" when approached about the possibility of a major job in the second Bush administration, CNN has learned.

The Cabinet vacancy at the Department of Homeland Security was the subject of the latest overture, according to congressional and other government sources. Those sources said the earlier overture was to see whether Lieberman might be interested in becoming the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations.

1. Or White House rejects Lieberman overtures ?

The truth will emerge....maybe. :)

2. I doubt it

The White House has eyes on his Senate seat.

3. First time I've had any respect for him at all.

I still wouldn't vote for him for President if he had the nomination, but I do admire him for not giving up a Democratic Senate seat to work for the * administration.

The fact that it would even occur to me to admire him over something like that, shows just how low of an opinion I actually have of him though.

7. If true, this is a good move by Joe--Find another patsy, George.

Once you find him, present him a Medal of Freedom to honor the 'catastrophic success'

4. Good. Maybe the voters in CT and MD will throw both of them out.

Camera hogging losers.

5. That's good

We can't afford to lose any more senate seats.
