Not that it matters to anyone here but it matters to me. We've coddled that LIEberman prick since he lost out to Ned Lamont, and we have to deal with him until 2012. Unless Harry Reid and the Dems grow balls and oust this prick from the caucus. But that isn't going to happen. We're Dems, having the guts to take a stand is like having the guts to take a stand, we don't.


I'm tired of this shit. Ted Kennedy would be outraged. The Dems shit on his memory with the coddling of this asshole.

1. 59 is still a majority. It's not filibuster-proof, but still a majority.

4. We probably don't even get to pick lunch.
Remember Rachel Maddow's "pizza" skit?
Wouldn't it be great if Democrats could recognize when they're being played and just dismiss the Republicans?

2. Democrats never had 60
Look up LIEbermans record, how many times has he voted with the Democratic caucus?

He LIED to keep a committee chair when he said he would caucus with the Dems.
