Connecticutians (is that workd?) should redeem themselves by proposing a state-wide vote of no-confidence in their putative republicrat senator in their next general election.. and make it clear that this guy doesn’t represent them… then he can add statelessness to his partylessness. Senator Joseph Lieberman (BLANK-NADA). condemn him to spending his remaining four years in the cold, sitting by himself in the senate, and then political oblivion thereafter.

I think that is pronounced CANNOT-CUT-AND-RUN-IANS

Is this possible, “no confidence” or a state recall? If he was my senator, I’d have sponsored the research already… knowing the time would come. L. is a proud man, an arrogant man… what would give him pause?

DEPU’d, too good to leave double EPU’d. One of our own helped untangle the Nixon tapes.

I hope there will be an Alexander Butterfield moment.

I’ll never forget the original one. I and my group of my engineers had previously invented “forensic acoustics” and had successfully used it to analyze tape-recorded evidence. I remember almost driving off the road when I heard of Butterfield’s revelation. We began hoping that we’d get a crack at those tapes. We did; loooong story.

For me, the display of the clipped-out, printed original WaPo editorial (with scrawled markup in a hand that’s acknowleged to be Shooter’s) was that moment in TraitorGate.

He’s goin’ down! And his little sockpuppet, too! :)

I hope you are writing that long story. Your exciting moment in history (”Better living through technology”) could bring home to thousands simple truths about citizenship, the significance of individual contributions and, most importantly, the great adventure of using technical occupations in real life.

Leadership now would be for Senator Reid to invite Joe to go ahead and leave.

It’s like a bad relationship. Let’s end it and move on.

Agree. Call his bluff. Tell him to go. What’s wrong with Reid that he can’t see this? Go Joe. Go to the dark side. That’s where you belong!

Why the slothful, apathetic, ignorant Democratic voters of CT (not the ones who voted Lamont) chose to vote for this worm I’ll never know.

The majority Democrats in the Senate can effect nothing anyway.

And Bush has a veto besides.

The House can defund/bankrupt Bush’s wars and that’s the only thing the Democrats can do.

In 1992 they elected the GOP and Contract with America. Why? HAWWWNKK!!

The GOP gridlock the government and Americans re-elect them again and again. Why? HAWWWNK!!

Then, Contract defunct, the GOP impeaches Clinton over utter bullshit, and 70% of the people support Clinton. HAWWWNK!

In 2000 they re-elect the impeaching GOP assholes again along with Bush. Why? HAWWWNNNK!!

In 2004 they elect them again along with Bush after all the disasters 2000-2004.Why? HAAAWWWNK!

The in 2006 Lieberman loses the nomination in Conn., betrays his party and the stupid fools of Conn., who clearly opposed the war, elect him again. DOUBLE HAWWWNNK!

Is there no end to the stupidity of Americans?

Once Joe puts on his clone uniform, he’ll be just another clone. Not a standout, gosh we need you wadda you want, Senator, lynchpin. He won’t like that. He’ll want something in exchange, such as being named to McCain’s ticket. Fine with me; I don’t think that one will make it past the first primary.

But Joe’s rank deception makes clear just how much of a knife fight the next election will be. As will also be true of all the work we expect the Senate to do between now and then.

Lieb sits as Chair of those Committees at the graces of the Democrats.
If he is stripped the Republicans will have to give up one of their positions to keep him on the Committee.

Thus the Democrats would not only rid themselves of an obstructionist Chairperson…but also effectively reduce the voting strength of the Republicans by ONE. They would thus truly control the committees.
