Senate Dems [voted to allow Joe] Lieberman to keep his plum spot [as Chairman of the Homeland Security and Government Oversight Committee] despite the fact that he has been a disaster at the post, and despite the fact that he endorsed efforts by the GOP to imply that Obama is in league with terrorists, suggested that Obama endangered our troops, and said Obama hasn't always put the country first.Harry Reid, the majority leader in the Senate, is such a fucking putz. This should have been a no-brainer. Not only should the chairmanship have been taken away from Lieberman, the traitor should have been kicked out of the Democratic caucus all together.
Worse, Reid is echoing an argument he knows is false: That this is only about retribution. Reid and his fellow Senators have made the political decision to leave Lieberman in a job that he was a disaster at, rather than make the good governmental decision to remove him for the good of the country.
And I'll be the first to say "told ya so" when the peckerhead from Connecticut turns around and bites the Obama administration in the ass.
