In an article set to appear in Sunday's New York Times magazine, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid says that Sen. Joe Lieberman blindsided him on health care reform.

Lieberman announced his decision to join a Republican filibuster on CBS's "Face The Nation" -- apparently without giving any warning to the leader of his caucus:

1. Toyota Sydrome...they asked for it...

they got it....

[Robbien]

2. Blindsided?

Lieberman spends 99.9% of his time spouting GOPer issues. How is his siding with GOPers a blindside?

[Liberal Veteran]

6. Let me just come out and say it: Reid is a fucking moron!

[Liberal Veteran]

3. Um. Earth to Reid! Did you think he was referred to as Traitor Joe for another reason?

[MrSlayer]

4. Trusting Lieberman in the first place was the mistake.

How many times does this guy have to fuck you over before you realize he cannot be trusted? I'll bet he was surprised too. Idiots all.

[Liberal Veteran]

8. Apparently, Reid never heard the fable of the Scorpion and the Frog.

5. Joe betrays everyone, he cares only for himself.

10. In other news, Reid totally shocked by sunrise.

9. and He just now figured that out?

Sloooow.....eh?

[leeroysphitz]

11. Darn that wily Lieberman! He up and hornswoggled us again.

Poor Harry just can seem to foil Snidly Lieberman's dastardly plans...

[aquart]

12. Harry, were you born yesterday?

How could a grownup possibly believe in Lieberman or Snowe?

[UTUSN]

13. Wow, I was able to K&$ to UNDO the nefarious UnReKKKer around here!1

Why (oh, why) would a DUer UnReKKK something exposing (again) Joementum?!1

[notadmblnd]

14. I thought that was a given right off the top?

Everyone here knew it would happen, how could Harry not?

[hvn_nbr_2]

15. So why is he still a committee chairman? nt

[dixiegrrrrl]

18. So he could pretend to be surprised.

The pattern is pretty obvious by now.
Dems play good cop, blame Repugs, who are the bad cop "preventing"
Dems from passing all the good laws.
Ole Reid has claimed to be "surprised" by a lot of Senate happenings.
Notice he still manages to be irreplaceable.

16. Now that he's figured out that Snowe and Liebermann can't be trusted

he'll decide to work on real health care reform and bury the Insurance Bill.

It is you, Mr. Reid who is the head of the Senate.
