What About Lieberman?
Joe Lieberman, despite the accusations from liberal bloggers of being a closet Republican, is a safe Democrat on all issues beside the war. More importantly, he pledges to caucus with the Democrats and receive committee assignments from the party leadership. However, it's still not clear how Lieberman will be welcomed back by his colleagues who betrayed him in his campaign against Ned Lamont. There have been rumors that Lieberman would be stripped of his seniority on committee assignments, but considering the overwhelming optimism of the Democratic Party these days, I see very little chance that the leadership would do something so vindictive.

I certainly hope we welcome Lieberman back into our fold.

I'm certainly not one who often sides with the crazy, do-nothing liberal bloggers, but I do think they're right about this one.

While we do need Joementum for Senate control, he has some atonement to do.

Thus, I think he should be stripped of his seniority, at least temporarily. When Lieberman starts behaving like a real Democrat (ie, not providing a bi-partisan cover for every terrible decision Bush makes), he can be treated like one.

Just my two cents.
