Come Saturday Morning: The Curious Incident of the Republicans in the Night-Time

By: Phoenix Woman Saturday January 2, 2010 6:54 am

None of Lieberman’s Republican buddies, on or off Capitol Hill, are backing Dennis Kucinich’s probe of Rahm Emanuel. These are the people that went ahead with impeaching Bill Clinton for trying to hide a few blow jobs that were none of their business, yet they won’t go after Obama’s right-hand man? How– curious. Why, you’d think that the Republicans liked seeing Rahm stay right where he is.

Ain’t Nothin Wrong With Yemen An Invasion Can’t Solve, Right?

By: Spencer Ackerman Sunday December 27, 2009 8:30 am

That vein in your forehead that throbs when someone says something stupid? I formally petition the American Medical Association to rename it the Lieberman “Sen. Joseph Lieberman, (I-Conn) a renowned hawk and one of the foremost champions of the invasion of Iraq, warned on Sunday that the United States faced “danger” unless it pre-emptively acts to curb the rise of terrorism in Yemen.”

Cloture Is Now Officially Meaningless

By: Eli Saturday December 26, 2009 5:25 pm

Here are two pairs of numbers which look awfully similar. The cloture vote for the Senate health care bill: 60-39. The vote for final passage of the Senate health care bill: 60-39. Thanks to Democratic caucus members like Joe Lieberman, Ben Nelson, Blanche Lincoln and Mary Landrieu, the distinction between cloture and the bill itself has disappeared.

Lieberman, Obama on the Same Team

By: Gregg Levine Monday December 21, 2009 11:31 am

Lieberman takes great pains to describe a situation where he received almost no pressure from the White House or leadership, except to eventually pass some bill. The president did not lean on Joe to agree to include some form or public option or Medicare buy-in.

Franken to Lieberman: STFU

By: David Dayen Thursday December 17, 2009 7:15 pm

Al Franken, like many junior Senators, has to spend some time in the chair of the President of the Senate. He did so today when Joe Lieberman gave a long speech on the Senate floor about health care. Lieberman initially asked for 10 minutes, and the Senator reached that mark, and Franken, as per Senate procedure, let him know. . .

STUDENTS, NOT BANKS

Pass direct student lending now!

President Obama's plan for direct student lending saves $8.7 billion by cutting unnecessary fees paid to Wall Street banks.

But if the Senate tries to pass a health care 'fix' through reconciliation without passing direct lending at the same time, there won't be another opportunity for an entire year.

Sign our petition to the Senate to save our students and pass direct student lending.
