Sen. Joe Lieberman has reached a private understanding with Majority Leader Harry Reid that he will not block a final vote on healthcare reform, according to two sources briefed on the matter.

The unpredictable Democrat-turned-Independent last week publicly stated he would join Republicans in filibustering the Democratic legislation after Reid (D-Nev.) announced he had included a government-run health insurance plan in the bill.

...

“Maybe he’s talking tough to get the public option watered down or he’s trying to get some stuff for himself on other topics or on other sections of the legislation,” the source added. “He’s basically trying to be a senator.”

1. What?

This is a huge story if it's true.

2. Really?

3. "He is basically trying to be a Senator"....or an asshole.

Take your pick.
Did Harry actually lay down the law? I highly doubt it. More likely Joe got bombarded by us testy nutmeggers. Jerk, no matter what he does.

6. Yeah, that's the part that's "What?"...

lieberman is a poor excuse of a Senator to represent the people of Connecticut.

7. I'm not surprised....

.... I think a lot of what happened last week was a put on. Lieberman putting on a show be it for the insurance companies or someone. Or he wanted something.

OR Rahm threatened to remove his left testical. It's def. one of those things.

8. But farther down in the article it says...

Lieberman’s spokesman said Monday that nothing has changed from last week, when the senator said he would support calling up the bill but would block a final vote.

“Sen. Lieberman has made it clear that he will vote for the motion to proceed to the healthcare bill but will oppose cloture on a final bill if it contains a public option because he believes that it would worsen our national debt problem,” said Lieberman aide Marshall Wittmann.

:shrug:
I am really getting sick of all of these contradictory sources and articles. Are they purposely trying to keep our heads spinning?

9. Releases pressure on Lieberman and nothing more. Lies.

Takes only 30 senators to remove his committee chairman status.

Keep up the pressure.
