Why the Lieberman thing bothers me and it's not about the lack of revenge
it's about the information that committee handles. It's a matter of trust and i don't trust Lieberman, i think he would would gladly leak information about the Whitehouse to his friends at Fox.

Trust is the issue.

3. That's exactly what I told Reid's staffer when I called today.
I don't trust Lieberman one bit. If he can, he will derail anything the dems want to do regarding Iraq and Afghanistan and Iran.

Congress cannot refuse. Lieberman is a case in point.

5. Lousy track record AND trust. No kidding.

The "revenge" talking point is all anyone will attend to, though. Oh, the wacky left -- with their expectations of an accountable government! What will they think of next!

6. Exactly.....and whom does he now have a close personal relationship with
..........Palin.....he flew up to Alaska and holed up with her to give her someone inside info on foreign relations, etc.

On the other hand, he has a ZERO personal relationship with Obama.

I don't trust this guy one bit. My only hope is the reason they kept him was so they could have some control over him.

7. The Lieberman move is simply a strategy designed to give the
Democrats the extra and possibly deciding vote. The leadership thinks the move was worth it. How we feel about Lieberman is irrelevant strategically.

8. Frankly, I don't mind admitting that I'd love to exact just a LITTLE revenge!!
Just Joe. That's all I wanted. Just ONE treasonous bastard to hand up by his toenails.

But nooooooooooooooo!

9. Agreed. My only hope is...
...that Harry Reid now holds the pink slip on Lieberman's testicles, and will keep him in line accordingly.

I'm crankily going to wait and see on this, so hopefully there'll be some strategic advantage to keeping that traiterous dirtbag around.

10. they should get a minder for him.
anyhow i know Reid is way unpopular here but i have to think that there is a good reason, has to be a good reason for keeping him but i am worried about Lieberman funneling info to his goper buds in the media.
