Rumsfeld out; next step, offer Lieberman the post

How lucky for them, they have a defector who's also an egotist to tip the Senate back in their favor.

7. Want to take it outside?

Please, imagine the pain I am suffering! While democrats across the country rejoice, I'm stuck here with this tool I just voted out of office a few months ago -- and now possibly appointed to be the official warmonger against in Bush's holy war against Islam. It is such a bittersweet victory! Don't blame us, blame the REPUBLICANS. The republican party dumped a ton of money into Joe's campaign and to assure CT republicans had no other choice. So lighten up, sonny! How about a day without DUers picking fights with each other? I think the impact of what has just happened has yet to hit most of us. This I'd bet they contingency plans for!

4. If Lieberman takes the job, it will be the last one he ever holds in government

He'll NEVER get elected to any office because NO ONE will EVER trust him again!!!
