    Joe The Schmendrick

    Yep, Joan, you're right. The Lieberman decision is an abomination. It's also politics by way of Machiavelli. Joe's new role as the “Democratic Caucus Punk” will be way more valuable to Team Majority than the pissed-off, spiteful contrarian that we all know Joey would be had it not turned out his way. Hard to swallow in the short run, good for us all in a clinch. And his new leash and collar are awfully becoming, don't you think?
