I love Chris Hayes (0.00 / 0)

he is always spot on....
as for LIEberman, we have to also blame his #1 enabler Chris(I promise to filibuster FISA, YEAH RIGHT) Dodd ....who somehow conflated throwing out Holy Joe with problems that Conn. would incur with this action. HUH?
The state of Conn is worse off because LIEberman has done nothing for the people of Conn.
Chris Dod has become just as bad.

Hasn't He Heard? Obama Has Repealed Moral Hazard! (0.00 / 0)

This is just more of that "old thinking" from the Boomers that's the real enemy we need to defeat.

Psychotic bullies always turn into cherubs when the consequences of their bad acts disappear.

At least, upper-class white conservative psychotic bullies always turn into cherubs.  Inner-city black kids?  Not so much.

OT but (4.00 / 2)

Congratulations on diary #10,000 David.

I wish I had a better prize to offer than that a sanctimonious hypocrite would keep his ill-deserved committee chairmanship.  No good deed goes unpunished, no bad one unrewarded.

When do we get news? (4.00 / 1)

The vote was supposed to be at 9:30 this morning, but that's Washington time, so we probably won't know anything until mid 2012, right?

God, I just want it to be over so we can absorb the loss, then move on to losing the next fight.

Conduct your own interview of Sarah Palin!

Senate to progressives: Go to Hell (0.00 / 0)

Firedoglake: Lieberman: Suck On That, Liberals!

Cillizza:

Asked what it would mean if Lieberman kept his chairmanship, one Senate Democratic aide said bluntly: "The left has been foiled again. They can rant and rage but they still do not put the fear into folks to actually change their votes. Their influence would be in question."

I hope this puts to rest the notion that this is all some master stroke of kumbayah, of keeping your friends close and your enemies closer.

This is about telling you that you mean nothing.   That democracy is a nice word, but it should never threaten the entitlement of the most exclusive club in the world.

No matter what Joe Lieberman does, the people who are protecting him hate you much more than they hate him.
