1. Yup, you gave him what he wanted and he still wont be there to |
|
vote for cloture.
And no matter when the vote happens or whats in the bill, he probably will have some other excuse to not be there.

2. Why am I not surprised? |
|
You think he's beginning to realize just how radioactive he's become?
CT should have elected Ned Lamont in 2006. But Lieberman just had to ally himself with Karl Rove, and you know the rest.

18. He should've closed the airport! |
|
But if Lieberdick isn't there, do they still need 60? If he just abstains, can we get it through without him?

8. Laughing all the way to the bank. |

I hope he enjoys his blood money.
Every time a patient dies, think Lieberman.

Really, we don't need him until Monday when the cloture motion is filed. Hopefully, the roads have cleared up by then. Othewise, airlift time.

11. They may need him for cloture on the military appropriations bill tonight |
|
or early tomorrow morning. If he is not there and/or others are not there due to snow then the only way they can get 60 votes and get past the military appropriation and back to health care is with Republican votes.

20. Apparently that was not the last vote on the military appropriation |
|
at least according to TPM: ...But tomorrow, bright and early, all of them could need to be on hand for procedural reasons. For instance, Democrats expect to have to waive a budget point of order they expect Republicans to raise against the defense appropriations bill. http://tpmdc.talkingpointsmemo.com/2009/12/wheeling-in-the-cots-a-winter-snow-emergency--and-an-absentee-lieberman--is-complicating-democrats-h.php?ref=fpblg

13. Yes, but he usually stays in DC and walks to the Capitol as he did last weekend |
|
He went home for the last day of Hanukkah to be with his family. Jeez, I wish he stayed in DC but for cripes sakes, everything is not a conspiracy

16. Scream all you want, it's too late now. He'd have to walk back from Connecticut |
|
for any votes. After sundown he won't be driving or flying anywhere.
Punk'd again by the Lieberman

23. Unless Reid finds a Republican, the Christmas deadline on HCR is dead. |

It is predicated on everything going right.
Lieberman might have just given another big fuck you to Leadership.

25. The Hill now says his voted is not needed: |
|
According to his spokesman, Lieberman was "assured by Democratic and Republican leaders that his vote was not needed to pass Defense appropriations." http://thehill.com/capital-living/in-the-know/73031-lieberman-wont-be-walking-to-senate-this-weekend
