Another Reason to Can Joe

11.08.08 -- 11:24AM

By Josh Marshall

As we and many others have chronicled, there's a surfeit of reasons to strip Sen. Lieberman of his committee chairmanship. But one, perhaps the most obvious and substantive, has gone little mentioned. Simply put, he was terrible at it. Lieberman's committee is the senate investigations and oversight committee, the senate's counterpart to Rep. Henry Waxman's committee in the House. And if you remember a lot about Waxman's investigations and hearings and nothing about Lieberman's, that's because Lieberman didn't hold any. Even in the face of endless scandals of the late Bush administration, Lieberman couldn't find anything worth poking into.

1. Agreed. Joementum was guarding the hen house while the fox was running free inside. His heart is

with the Neo-Cons, so get him the heck out of our way now.

2. Wow. Great point.

That about sums it up. He's proven to be a chimp apologist, he helped to trash Obama....what more is there to think about?

3. K&R -- That's a very important reason in my book.

And I don't want someone so dedicated to the Republican party's PR to be in that position any longer.

4. Do we really have to think hard about this? Pick any reason. Just do it. Bye Buh Joe.

Seriously. Any Lieberman fans here? I didn't think so.

5. Who exactly is responsible for this asswipe still being around?

Is it Reid? The entire Dem caucus? Committee members? Who?

I've signed an on line petition, I've e-mailed both of my Senators, is there somebody else who needs a spine transfusion?

This is the best possible reason yet to get rid of Droopy Dog. There must be accountability for the sins of the booshies and he wants to overlook it.

The name fits.

8. The BIGGEST Reason To Strip His Chairmanship...

you cannot trust the asshole to not use his gavel as a means to ATTACK Barack Obama. He has already proven he will attack Barack, he can never be given a forum to do so in the Senate.

9. K & R ...
