Lieberman expresses fears of Dem majority in Senate <== strapped in

Thursday is Lieberman’s 'day of reckoning'

Senator Joseph Lieberman (I-CT) expressed fears to radio host Glenn Beck of a Democratic majority in the Senate. Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) expressed his optimism on Sunday for a number of Democratic Senate seats reaching near 60, but wasn't as confident about the filibuster-proof supermajority. The story was reported Tuesday by ThinkProgress.

.... snip ....

Thursday will be Senator Lieberman's "day of reckoning," according to a Capitol Hill paper.

"Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) is scheduled to meet with Sen. Joe Lieberman (ID-Conn.) on Thursday to discuss his future in the Senate Democratic Conference, according to a Democratic Senate source," Tim Taylor reports for Roll Call.

Taylor notes that "a growing number of Senate Democrats have been pressuring Reid to penalize Lieberman for aggressively backing Republican Sen. John McCain (Ariz.) in this year’s presidential contest," and that his chairmanship of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee and his place in the Democratic Conference are both "at stake."

1. It's either them or give up your cushy chairmanship...

What have you, Senator?

[Cleita]

2. I'll bet the bastard reregisters as a Republican to dilute the

power of the Senate.

3. Penile Lize Him

5. Abe Vigoda to Al Pacino: "Mikey, is there anything you can do?"

6. Then stop caucusing with us

Become a Republican already, you scumbag.

Why would you associate with people you clearly despise?

7. Will someone please throw this turncoat out on the seat of his

pants. I have never seen such an apple polisher in politics. He needs to go home and rethink his life, wash the car, contemplate his navel. Anything. Just keep out of Obama's way.

8. about fucking time

they'll treat him better than I would

I think Reid should tell him 1 thing
"You are about to become the most irrelevant and powerless person in the senate"

[xxqqqzme]

9. "..at stake..."????

How about is GONE?

[frylock]

10. smell the glove, mofo

[LiberteToujours]

11. I don't get this obsession with 60

It's rare to get 100% party-line voting anyway. Either party would need more like 65 seats for a true supermajority.

[Elidor]

12. With Harry Reid in charge, 60 is much more important than it would be with a real leader up there

Have I ever mentioned that I loathe Harry Reid? There are republicans that I hold in higher regard.

13. Joe L

Run his sorry ass out of town!!!! He is a "collaborator"!!! And to think he was our VP candidate in 2000!!! Ingrate!!!!!!!!

[peace frog]

14. Why are we even bothering with this tool?

Cast him into darkness, ostracize him, he's a non-entity, a cipher, NOTHING.

[Window]

15. It's about time.
