Let Liebermann Keep Chairmanship

You know, I’d really hate to see turncoat Joe Liebermann lose his good standing within the Democratic caucus, but it certainly sounds like Harry Reid is bent on stripping the “independent Democrat” from Connecticut from the chair position of a major Senate committee.

I don’t think this is entirely necessary, even though he did say this about the President-Elect at the Republican National Convention:

In the — in the Senate, during the three-and-a-half years that Senator Obama’s been a member, he has not reached across party lines to accomplish anything significant, nor has he been willing to take on powerful interest groups in the Democratic Party to get something done. And I just ask you to contrast that with John McCain’s record of independence and bipartisanship.

Hmmmm. “has not reached across party lines to accomplish anything significant.” Sounds like a line lifted right from FAUX News, doesn’t it?

Oh yeah, and he said this too:

You know, when others wanted to retreat in defeat from the field of battle, which would have been a disaster for the USA; when colleagues like Barack Obama were voting to cut off funding for our American troops on the battlefield — (boos) — John McCain had the courage to stand against the tide of public opinion, advocate the sure, support the surge.

I forgot about that — the whole thing about “cutting off funding,” and “retreat in defeat.” Wow. I guess those were pretty strong words.

Here’s what I think should happen if turncoat Joe wants to continue to be chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee.

I think he needs to take out a 30-minute primetime commercial on several major networks, explaining how sorry he is for being so selfish, and admitting that he refused to accept the decision of the voters in his former party when they chose Ned Lamont as their candidate for Senator from Connecticut.

Overall, I just want to hear how sorry he is.

A few tears as he’s begging our forgiveness, even fake ones, would help a lot.
