A high-level senate Democratic source tells me former President Clinton is making calls on Sen. Lieberman's behalf.

I can also confirm, on the same basis, what Huffington Post has already reported, that President-elect Obama is signaling to Senate leadership and other party officials that he wants Sen. Lieberman to be in the Democratic caucus in the 111th Congress.

That doesn't mean he doesn't want him punished in some way. I have the sense -- though this is more speculation on my part -- that he's agnostic on that question. But he wants him in the caucus -- which would seem to give Lieberman some real leverage.

I'll have more on the Lieberman story soon.

No wonder we get tagged with the "wimpy" label. We can't even handle a traitorous piece of shit like Lieberman. Why are they so afraid to punish him?

very interresting

sounds like BS

that is really fucked up

:puke: :puke: :puke: :puke:

even going to make the decision.

have no reason to do so on Obama's behalf, so why's he involving himself?

he needs to STFU

More DLC crap from the Clintons

then you should not have a problem supplying a link.

I don't agree, but seeing that Lieberman was campaigning against him and Barack's OK with it, who am I to be angry about it? I suspect that Joe will be on his best behavior and we can expect to see him supporting the legislative agenda. If he doesn't, he can be kicked out later. Very odd, though.

no surprise.

Think he grabbed his arm also, There was a picture of it.

i'm not too worried suddenly.

For LIEberman, "No bad behavior goes unrewarded."

I hope they make him an offer of a lesser position, and let the idiot decide whether he wants it or wants to be out on his butt.
There is NO WAY he should be the chairman of any committee!!!!

committee. . . He can do too much damage there.

The DLC should be dissolved.

That is not what I wanted to hear today. Thanks for the info, regardless. I "needed" to hear it, even if I didn't "want" to.

:puke:

The United States is a LIBERAL Country.

:dem:

Former President DLC making calls on behalf of Former Chairman DLC.

Change we can believe in!

with multi-million dollar projects for their home states than let Lieberman stay on as committee chair. They would at least stay bought and that is a hell of a lot more than you can say for Lieberman.
