Has there been too much bipartisanship or too little? The reward Joe Lieberman will receive today is justified by the claimed need for more bipartisanship harmony. Is it even possible to have more than we have now?

  • Darrin927, good cops?

    Did it ever pass through the minds of the spineless Democratic Senators that President-Elect Obama was playing the role of "good cop", and was waiting for them to be smart enough to pick up their paces and play "bad cop", giving Liebermann the boot he so well deserves? No... that would take more intelligence than they're showing.

    Or maybe they are all just bad cops and didn't have to pretend anything?

    It doesn't matter though, because if those were the roles then they would have all known what to do. It wouldn't have been a secret. Senators only like keep secrets from the people they represents, not their peers.

    It just shows the cognitive dissonance between America and the Congress. To the Establishment, Obama is a "good cop" for wanting to play nice with Lieberman, yet to the people that voted for him, playing nice with Lieberman appears to be perceived as the opposite of being "good".

  • Glenn's banter is a cheap attack directed at Obama..

    From this point forward I can envision more banter from Glenn the queen of the chatter class....Instead of moving forward Glenn wants to continue the partisan antics..

    It must be hard for Glenn to realize that change is coming and the chatter class of people like Glenn do not matter...

  • DSCC site

    Frankly sed...

    Yes. The only thing that really surprises me is that there hasn't been a message from the Pope saying how pissed off he is.

    I think they have to translate his stuff from german, so his posts take a bit longer.

    It is truly ugly over there.

  • GBT

    Another single post drive-by propaganda troll.

  • todays reality dose...

    After the last two years of DC DEMs extreme rancor,partisan attacks and bullheaded frontal attacks on Bush/Cheney regime over Iraq Occupation,Rule of Law and someone paying big price for okaying torture by Americans on others I surely am relieved that awful,terrible time is now behind us.

    Joe Lieberman--champion of American bipartisanship and being the really fair and open minded guy he is was rewarded for being just that today for the past years worth of election politics he represented. What a wonderful guy Joe Lieberman once again has proved himself to be.

    Today proving beyond doubt the DC DEMs are done being a mean opposition party and will now engage with the GOPers to form up the Repdemlicanrat Party--where all bipartisanship all the time will be the daily gig.

    Todays reality dose--

    Expect Iraq to get the full Kabuki treatment from Obama WH and DC DEMs in 2009. Hillary Clinton as SOS? That fits. Israel wants American longstay in Iraq. What Israel wants DC DEMs will deliver. Just like they have been doing since early 2007.

    Getting out of Iraq by end of 2011?

    Expect that to get tossed aside by the DC DEMs during next two years. Iraq is not going to be set free of American Empire if Israel can stop it.

    This being where Hillary Clinton as SOS comes in nicely?

  • Chump change is comin'

    Any day now....

  • @ LetJoeStay

    He stays!

    This is fantastic news. I'm glad cooler heads have prevailed. Joe stays!

    Joe? Joe? Is that you, Joe? Joe of the "Joe Lieberman for Joe Lieberman" Party of Connecticut???

    Sit down and stay a while while we all heap calumny on you!

    Cheers,

  • Center-Right? Wrong!!!

    I have sent an email to my newly re-elected Democratic member of Congress in which I laid out my agenda. There is nothing bipartisan about it

  • @Joe

    For the love of Allah! Don't soil yourself!

  • R.Ashen

    Expect that to get tossed aside by the DC DEMs during next two years. Iraq is not going to be set free of American Empire if Israel can stop it.

    That is a big if. The Iraqi people want us out, hence the chatter about the urgency of solidifying a Status of Forces Agreement.

    Thanks.

    That's what happens when people deal in backrooms and don't pay attention to who's paying the light bill.

  • @ Casual Observer

    “For the first time in decades, we are a true national majority party—and if we want to stay that way, we must govern like one,” Hoyer (D-Md.) is to say in a speech today at the National Press Club, according to excerpts of his remarks obtained by The Hill.

    What he means is "... if we want to keep governing like the Rethuglicans did with our able-bodied assistance these last eight years, we have to continue to do what they (and we) did...."

    Cheers,

    As someone noted earlier (Jebbie, I think), they seem to have stopped accepting new posts. Perhaps the basket only takes 100 posts. Anyway, they have a representative sample of reaction. By my count it's 100-0 against.

  • I Told You So

    Barack Obama actually listened to me. In a recent comment I recommended keeping Lieberman in his leadership roles even though I have disliked him long before it was fashionable. (I lived in Connecticut and voted against him twice.) I am not even in favor of bipartisanship. I am in favor of non-partisanship. Many of the old Republican Guard have been discredited along with Bush and Cheney. They should go along with a few dopey Democrats. Making deals with them in the name of bipartisanship is absurd. Lieberman, on the other hand, is an intelligent, experienced, and ethical man who is not afraid to take unpopular stands. He is as close to a true independent as we have in Washington, and he has risked his political career on any number of occasions to prove it. I may disagree with him on many points, the war in Iraq in particular, but I do like his independence. Somebody wrote a declaration about that. We need responsible voices and intelligent opposition. I don't know about you, but I miss having a democracy.
