1. ZOMG!!! Lieberman!!! Much as I'd like to see that man and his shit-eating grin out of the Capitol altogether, do you people really want the kind of ideological witch hunt that went on during the Republican reign? How'd that work out for you?
2. Let's see. Obama could do a George Bush and put a bunch of cronies from Chicago (machine politics or the appearance thereof) in office, or he could go with seasoned veterans of a successful administration. Which would cut down on the Keystone Kops factor? I'm going with the Clintonites for $400.
Like someone else said: this guy ran a flawless campaign. He beat the Republicans. Every time he opens his mouth, he sounds like a grownup talking to other grownups. HE HAS NOT BEEN SWORN INTO OFFICE YET. I'm going to give him until April before I even start making judgments.
Go outside and play, people. The election's over. Get a life! At least until January 21. We'll be fine, with or without Lieberman.
Oh, and to whomever wants to blame the Clinton DOJ for Waco, it sure as hell wasn't federal agents who incinerated those children, and the Elian Gonzales affair was ultimately a screechingly melodramatic family feud that happened to involve the INS. And you know, after living with an enormous federal blind spot eight years in the making, I will sleep safer at night knowing that the Attorney General is a veteran of aggressive campaigns against domestic terrorists.
