Fuck two years. If he sides with the filibuster on HCR, along with his comments about stumping for Repukes - bounce his ass immediately. I know the Dems aren't fans of strict party discipline, but letting him keep his chairmanship after that would be akin to refusing to spank your kid after he's burned the house down and spent all the insurance money on blackjack and hookers.

Bounce. Bounce Bounce.

If Lieberman filibusters the party's most significant accomplishment since LBJ, we need to bounce him.

Oh, please, spare me the impotent bluster from yet another gutless Democrat. None of these nutless wonders—including Obama, and first and foremost Harry Reid—have the spine to do anything about Lieberman, and he knows it.

I suppose "hints" from a fellow committee chair and not Leadership is the strongest warning shot that can be launched Lieberman's direction at this point since it's a given that anything stronger will simply provoke a 7-year-old's tantrum out of him and he'd join a filibuster purely out of spite.

But it appears that Lamont will run against him again in '12 and would probably appreciate an early endorsement from some of the heavies in the Party at this point....

Here's some news. Even though Holy Joe is (I-CT) for his Senate seat, he is, in fact registered to vote as a DEM in his home town of Stamford. There was an effort by the CT DEM party to strip him of that, but the issue came down to the local registrar of voters in Stamford. They declined to take action.

To me it's simple. If refuses to be the critical sixtieth vote, he is of no use to the caucus and he should be stripped of his chairmanship and cast out to wander the halls of Congress looking for a new home. Someone needs to call him out as an arrogant, self-righteous, self-aggrandizing pompous ass. I'd love to call him out for his clear conflict of interest on health care legislation, but then I would have to call out Bayh, Landrieu, Baucus, Conrad and any other Dem who has received millions in campaign contributions or whose spouse has worked for the health industry.
