Reid To Meet With Lieberman To Discuss Committee Chairmanship

CNN:

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid will likely meet later this week with Joe Lieberman to discuss whether the Democrat-turned-Independent will be stripped of his Senate committee chairmanship, a senior Democratic leadership aide tells CNN.

Lieberman currently chairs the Senate's Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee.

This aide says that Reid, who is calling the meeting, has not yet decided what to do. The aide admits that the decision will be determined in part by the final election results -- and just how close the party is to a filibuster-proof 60-seat majority -- but insists that the biggest factor involved is lingering anger among Senate Democrats over Lieberman's Republican convention speech.

Mmm-bye.

About time this meeting occurs. They may not be offended by his constant presence next to McCain, but it is was clear by his statements that he does not agree with the Democratic platform--and worst yet-- with President-elect Obama's direction. How, then, can he lead any committee in a senate that owes its majority to precisely those who want and fought for change?
Boot him, I say.
