Lieberman Calling His Senator Pals, Begging To Stay

Politico confirms that Lieberman is working his Senate colleagues to keep his chairmanship:

Lieberman has since been having phone conversations with colleagues, but has yet to meet with any in person. Most senators are receptive to Lieberman’s argument that allowing him to stay represents the type of unity that President-elect Obama espouses.

That is just a remarkable statement.

If you think Lieberman ought to have discovered his "sense of unity" shortly before he claimed Obama doesn’t put country first, wondered whether Obama was a "Marxist" and said that Obama tried to undermine the troops, you can sign the petition telling his Senate colleagues to show him the exit here.

And if you’ve already signed, you can tell a friend about it here.

Update:  Well, we know know who is "receptive to Lieberman’s argument."  Come on down, Evan Bayh…yes, the same Evan Bayh who gave Russ Feingold shit for wanting to censure George Bush.
