Joe Wins Big Time

Joe Lieberman won more than just the vote to stay in the caucus and keep his chairmanship today. He is now the focus of attention of all the blogs on this side of the blogosphere. For an attention whore like Lieberman, that is orgasmic. People need to just forget about Joe and move on. We have so much other stuff to worry about and 2012 will be here before we know it. Then we can focus on stripping Lieberman of not only his chairmanship, but also his title as Senator. That will be sweet justice.

And for those blaming Obama, like I said in the past that is all he could do short of not saying anything at all (which would have probably been better). If Obama said “Joe must go” and then the Senate decided to keep him anyways, ala the good ole’ boys club, then President Obama would have had a hell of a time getting anything through Lieberman’s committees.

Plus lets also look ahead only two years. That’s when the next session of Congress will convene. Joe will surely be on his best behavior between now and then, and if he isn’t then he could end up gone – especially if we end up with a more solid majority, breaking that 60 seat threshold.
