Oh, joy, look who will get to "burnish his progressive credentials" by introducing the repeal of Don't-Ask-Don't-Tell in the United States Senate.

When a party has had enough votes to end a filibuster on its own, we have not been able to find a single time in history where members have joined with the opposition party to filibuster a bill.

So who is the Senator willing to stand up and say they will take this unprecedented move, betray the President, the Senate leadership and their own caucus, and do this?  Who is willing to say they are going to make history?

Not Joe Lieberman, because Mike Stark asked him two days ago

In yet another surprising Rahm-is-wonderful NYT paean, we learn that sexy Peter Orzsag was sent to dine with Maine Senator Susan Collins, and that West Virginia's Jay Rockefeller got an Oval Office sit-down with President Obama. Maria Cantwell of Washington was also summoned to the Oval for a one-on-one with the President. The head of the White House Office of Health Reform, Nancy DeParle, even visited Dianne Feinstein in her storied DeeCee den, the place where Barack and Hillary made their peace last summer. But what of Holy Joe?

Four years, and it's still shocking. Not the storm -- as bad as that was -- but the four years that have been squandered trying to put people's lives and communities back together. Lord, have mercy . . .

Joe Lieberman told ABC's This Week that we should postpone efforts to provide health insurance coverage to those who can't afford it until the economy is sufficient recovered. That's how Joe makes himself the guy we have to placate to get anything done. It's what he does.

Joe Lieberman's campaign to always be wrong continues unabated.

In his infinite tri-partisan wisdom, Very Wise Senator Joe Lieberman today decreed that universality is what Obama needs to jettison from his health care reform effort, at least until this short, mild recession is over.

Last week, Assistant Attorney General David Kris and Dept. of Defense General Counsel Jeh Johnson appeared before the Senate Armed Services Committee to talk about Military Commissions. They stood up for the notion of returning to the rule of law and open, fair trials. I'm glad they did it, but sad that it even needed to be done.

The time has come for President Barack Obama to recognize the important accomplishments of Senator Joe Lieberman of Connecticut. He should appoint Joe Lieberman to, well, just about anything. Surely there are some ambassadorships still available to loyal "with us on everything but the war" Senators like Joe Lieberman.

This is funny -- watch Joe Lieberman describe his exit from the Democratic Party because it was dominated by extremists, just like Arlen Specter's Pennsylvania GOP primary is dominated by extremists. Then Norah O'Donnell asks RGJoe why Arlen didn't run as a GOP, then after he lost the primary, run as an independent like RGJoe did in Connecticut after his loss to Ned Lamont.
