Lieberman to Remain Chairman of Self-Serving Gasbag Committee

Washington, D.C. -- Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid announced today that Joseph Lieberman will retain his chairmanship of the Senate Select Committee for Self-Serving Gasbags Spouting Sanctimonious Horseshit in That Slimy, More-Sorrow-Than-Anger, Put-Upon Tone.

Lieberman, who begged now President-Elect Obama to campaign for him when his Senate seat was in jeopardy and repaid him by praising Sarah Palin and questioning Obama's patriotism, seemed genuinely hurt that his colleagues would ever expect him to behave with even a marginal sense of decency or shame. "It's sad," droned Lieberman, "that my statements and actions over the past year in total support of the Republican party would somehow be treated as reasons for Democrats to hold me accountable."

Lieberman, who has been romantically linked to Pastor John Hagee, said he intends to remain focused on "what I believe will benefit Americans and America." An aide later clarified that where Lieberman referred to "Americans" and "America" he meant to say "myself" and "Likud."

Well, Harry Reid, the best I can say about you is that you are consistent and predictable.

We knew you might pretend to bluff and bluster in your quiet timid way, as usual, but in the end you (and Pelosi) would yet again let us down.

One of my least favorite senators for over 12 years, now at the top of the list.
Mr. Reid is not far behind.

Toss him out of the Democratic Caucus. Let the Republicans enjoy the benefits of his association. Seems only fair.

Lieberman needs to be bannished. He is an opportunistic gasbag; an alarmist and a polarizer who deserves no respect let alone power in the Democratic Party.
