Before when he kept the dems in their slim majority, Lieberman held the dems hostage with "do as I say or I am out." Now Obama can say "Do as I say or you are out."
He spent the whole year accusing Obama of being a subversive, surrender-happy, anti-Israel, troop-abandoning Marxist and hailing every right-wing policy he could find. He's repeatedly accused war opponents of weakening the U.S. When he ran for re-election, his top supporters were Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh, and he only won because most Republicans voted for him. And now he's being rewarded for all of that with a top Chairmanship.
I'm sure he's absolutely petrified by the oh-so-credible threat that he will be punished if he misbehaves -- and this time they really mean it!!
