(D) Sen. Dorgon says NO to Lieberman keeping his chair

[Ichingcarpenter]

On edit I added Klobuchar because I remember seeing her on Rachel saying he needed to
lose his chair.



After Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-CT) spoke at the Republican National Convention this summer, Sen. Byron Dorgan (D-ND) expressed his frustration: “Everybody is just profoundly disappointed with what Joe did,” Dorgan said.

Today on Fox News Sunday, host Chris Wallace asked Dorgan whether he would vote on Tuesday to allow Lieberman remain chairman of the Homeland Security Committee. Dorgan said he was “concerned” and “upset” over Lieberman’s behavior during the campaign, and suggested that Lieberman’s actions were unacceptable for a committee chairman:

'As a chairman of one of our significant committees in the Senate, not just going off and supporting a presidential candidate of the other side but also criticizing the candidate on our side, and also involving himself in a couple of senate races on the other side. The question is, is that acceptable? The answer is no.'

2. I wrote Klobuchar a couple of days ago...

I'm glad she voted against Rusty Trombone Man.

3. She was rather adamant against Liarman on Rachel's show

so that's why I added her. Lieberman wrote editorials in Minnesota newspapers
in defense of Coleman and she is trying to get Franken elected.

7. I don't watch Rachel's show.. no cable and I work nights

And I can't podcast it either, dammit. :-(


Well, her radio show I can but not her TV show.

4. This is great news!

I'm glad 4 have publicly said that Joe's gotta go.

Keep 'em coming! :-)

5. Good! I hope that number continues to grow. He's a rat and he

cannot be trusted! Is the vote this Tuesday?

6. Sounds like it- so write and phone Democratic Senators

I would start with the Senate Leadership and work my way down the list.
I think Reid and Durbin are on board but they need to whip the others in line.

8. I wrote Byrd and Rockefeller yesterday asking that they vote to oust him.
