This sucks, but We got him by the Balls. Lieberman is Obama's Bitch now.

[MadBadger]

He owes his political future to Obama. Its because of the President-Elect's good grace that he gets to keep his plum committee for which he doesnt deserve. BUt now he has to come to the podium and grovel. He has to apologize for the things he has said. And if he strays again, Barack and Reid can make his political future pop like a tiny balloon.

[Jennicut]

1. ROFL! Loserman is everyone's bitch. First McLame's and now Obama's

He really must have had to beg.

[Cha]

23. Pretty much outted

lieberman.

[DevonRex]

2. I think I'm gonna write Lieberman an email and tell him exactly

how smarmy I think he is.

[Wapsie B]

3. I'd just wanna go all Michael Corleone on Holy Joe right now.

[monmouth]

8. "I know it was you Joe.:" "You broke my heart."....Smack...n/t

[saracat]

4. He didn't have to grovel. It was always a "done deal" He was

Obama's "mentor" and Obama wanted him to stay.

[HardWorkingDem]

5. Oh, Bullshit...people like Lieberman don't learn, care or change..

Wake up people. Lieberman is the fucking winner in all of this. Not Obama or anyone else. I simply can't believe the Dems have allowed themselves to be held hostage over this pious asshole.

[OwnedByFerrets]

6. One of the boys.

[spanone]

7. lieberman is not loyal to anyone....he'll fuck over barack in a heartbeat

[smb]

9. Oh, Puh-Leeze

Obama helped save his neck in the 2006 election, and look how the backstabbing little turd repaid him.

[nomaco-10]

10. Yeah right. He'll be just as loyal to Obama as he was to Gore and the dems for the last eight years.

This is a travesty. Unbelievable that this slimey little weasel gets yet another pass.

[TexasObserver]

11. Joe Lieberman is Fredo.

[DevonRex]

15. Yes. And will probably experience the same fate, metaphorically speaking.

I'd like to know why they didn't strip him of his chairmanships, but I'm not holding my breath.

[backscatter712]

24. Lemme get the fishing boat out for him...

Don't forget your Hail Mary's...

[WeDidIt]

12. Yeah, right

NOT

:eyes:

[Neshanic]

13. Keep repeating that. It will make you feel better.

[Hawkowl]

14. Nonsense.

Lieberman now has license to give Obama the finger anywhere, anytime, as often as he feels like it as long as he says he's sorry. Christ, Lieberman isn't Fredo, he's fucking Bart Simpson.

[mtnsnake]

17. Agreed 100%

Lieberman not only put the screws into us, but he'll break the heads right off the damn things so we can never get them out. Lieberman made the Democratic Party HIS bitch, not the other way around or any other way either.

[RandomKoolzip]

16. Wow! A rare two-fer: sexist AND totally fucking wrong!

[Neshanic]

18. There are the rare and exquisite sexist, homophobic and wrong. Like Caviar.

[LostinVA]

22. Yeah, the uber-sexism in the header is over the line

And breaks DU rules.

[backscatter712]

26. We could change it to...

"Got him by the short and curlies..."

I would like to think that this vote cost Lieberman a lot of IOUs to his fellow Senators and to Obama. But I guess we're not in the know about that sort of thing. He could just as well have threatened to pull various senators' skeletons out of their closets as well...

[nomaco-10]

19. Your post is predicated on Lieberman having loyalty. FAIL. n/t

[librechik]

20. Yes--his loyalty to friends is impeccable

NOT!

[tabbycat31]

21. his future is over

in 2012 as the people of CT should not re-elect him. I remember a very nasty campaign in 06 (I lived in NY then and got all the commercials) and I would have voted for Lamont.

It was the Republicans that voted for him, not the Democrats.

[Dr Fate]

25. Exactly- when he screws up, Reid etc can write letters and talk tough on TV...

...right before they give him whatever he wants next time.

We've got him right where we want him. ;)
