Best argument I've heard for cutting Lieberman loose. He certainly does not deserve to retain his chairmanship and I dare, dare him to flee the party. He'll get nothing done as an R and certainly won't get any attention.
I have to say I am really loving on Rachel Maddow. If they would just let her revert back to her butch hairstyle and be herself, I'd be happy. That hair reminds me of my highschool field hockey coach.

Leave it to Leahy to finally say what everyone is thinking:
"Every Senator will have to vote the way he or she believes they should," Leahy said, in a reference to the upcoming vote on Lieberman's fate in the Dem caucus next week. "I'm one who does not feel that somebody should be rewarded with a major chairmanship after doing what he did."
"I felt some of the attacks that he was involved in against Senator Obama...went way beyond the pale," Leahy continued. I thought they were not fair, I thought they were not legitimate, I thought they perpetuated some of these horrible myths that were being run about Senator Obama."
"I would feel that had I done something similar," Leahy concluded, "that I would not be chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee in the next Congress."
You all already know that I love Rachel Maddow. I think she's dead on. Joe's gotta go.
Great rationale. She's right that he's not going to be with Dems on the big issues where they'll need filibuster proof anyway. And it isn't just that he endorsed McCain, which would be bad enough, it is that he did everything he could to make people afraid of Obama. Unforgiveable.
