MSNBC is reporting that the discussions between Harry Reid and Joe Lieberman included Reid telling Lieberman that he was welcome to continue caucusing with the Democrats, but that he would not be allowed to continue on as chairmen of the Homeland Security committee. Lieberman’s response was that this was unacceptable to him. He’s now being wooed by Mitch McConnell and the GOP.

That was among the things that were being speculated about the meeting yesterday, but MSNBC has apparently appropriately sourced the info today. I say they should kick him to the curb. Lieberman got a quid pro quo for his support when his vote made them a 51-49 majority. There’s no reason why we should keep on paying him now, especially after what he did in the Presidential election. If we manage to fuck things up badly enough that we somehow lose enough seats two years from now for it to matter, then we don’t deserve to lead the senate anyway.
