Lieberman Likely To Lose Committee Chairmanship

The Hill:

Democratic leaders are discussing a major reshuffling of Senate committee chairmanships, according to multiple sources, and the proposed changes include ousting Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) from his coveted chairmanship.

Lieberman, a former Democrat who supports Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) for president, is likely to lose his gavel on the Homeland Security Committee he has chaired since January 2007, say the sources who see him being replaced by Sen. Daniel Akaka (Hawaii), the committee's third-ranking Democrat.

When did this Israeli get a Senate committee chairmanship? We can not have someone who takes all his orders from Tel Aviv sitting in a position of power. No wonder those Israelis managed to leave the country after 9/11.

If there ever was a Jud as ... he fits the model ! He should do an honorable thing (for once) and change his party ... go where he is comfortable ... to those who used him up and made him homeless !!!

This doesn't go far enough, but its probably all we could hope for. Leiberman continues to be hideously ignorant on virtually everything he repeats or in the conclusions he reaches. He needs to be away from any decision making process that have repercussions affecting other people.
