—–On Lieberman: Quotables
Via Hartford Courant:
“Clearly, Joe has a long ways to go in rebuilding a real working relationship of trust,” said former state Senate Majority Leader George Jepsen. “I think he’s pretty much written Connecticut Democrats off. I think he’s mostly concerned with his relationships down in D.C.”
And

Moving on was what the caucus leadership seemed to want Tuesday. Reid said, “We feel that what happened today has put this behind us. We’re looking forward; we’re not looking back.” And even Sanders said there’s a lot of work to do and “we all have to move on and work together.”

That’s not quite good enough for Myrna Watanabe, one of the members of the Connecticut Democratic central committee that has called for Lieberman to leave the Democratic Party — of which he’s still a registered member. She was unimpressed with Tuesday’s Senate action.

“It’s nothing. He didn’t even get his hand slapped,” Watanabe said. The Senate’s decision was political pragmatism, she argued, but it hasn’t changed her mind about the resolution of censure that she and another member are pushing at a Dec. 17 committee meeting.

“The bottom line,” she said, “is Joe is useless to us as Democrats in the state of Connecticut.”

If we don’t get rid of him, he’ll continue to undermine the CT state dems.

There’s a lot of willy-nilly there as well. Lieberman actually held hands with Nancy Johnson, called Chris Shays a “national treasure,” and was probably part of that group that played the nauseating non-stop propaganda ads targeted against Chris Murphy and Joe Courtney. The leadership sucks here. Minding Joe, will only cause more of a split in the party.</p> About the CT Democrats article. There’s a lot of willy-nilly there as well.
