By god if they have 56 next January...

On the topic of Lieberman: via Isaac Chotiner at The Plank, he just gets more disgraceful every day – now, Palin is a "bold choice." As has been often noted the Democrats needs him in their Senate caucus only for sheer numerical reasons. If they pick up a few seats, the Democrats had damn well better bounce him out of their caucus.

Remember, by the way, that Obama endorsed Lieberman in his primary against Ned Lamont when lots of others didn't. It still tells you everything you need to know about Washington that this preening and hypocritical jackanapes was once regarded as some kind of moral lodestar. The day he leaves public service will be a blessed day indeed.
