Lieberman has “no idea” if he’ll join Republican Party
CAVUTO: If in November, the Senate were to turn — a huge if — and you have traditionally now been voting with the Democrats, would you as the independent crazy fox that you are, switch to the Republicans, or what would you do?

LIEBERMAN: You know, you’re a devil Neil.

CAVUTO: No I’m not. I’m asking you a legitimate question.

LIEBERMAN: Not a real devil, but you’re up to a little deviltry, as they used to say. Uh, no idea. That’s a hypothetical.

2. he might as well.. at least that would be the honest thing to do
he would lose as a republican though, since the next time around there will be some serious republican contenders for a primary, and the teapartiers will surely find someone they like more than HolyJoeMentum

5. But he'll lose his committee chairmanships then for sure
and who knows if the Republicans will even let him be the "ranking member" on whatever committees they put him on.

Of course, loss of the chairmanships should happen anyway, but I'm not holding my breath on that one.

4. Throw him out
it shouldn't be his choice. Gotta feeling that the GOP doesn't want him either though.

6. Playing all coy, too cute by half
Joe will dance with whoever brings the biggest, baddest bling. He can be bought, just not cheaply.

'but you’re up to a little deviltry, as they used to say' - WHEN did anyone say "deviltry"? Idiot.

11. The only silver lining...
Harry Reid will be gone after November....

Maybe the next Dem leader will have the stones to put Lieberman in his place!

12. He'll formally make the switch if he thinks that will help him win re-election.
Otherwise, he'll run again as an independent.

13. GET HIM OUT OF THE CAUCUS
Edited on Wed Jan-20-10 03:26 PM by leftynyc
Sorry for screaming but this asshole has worked my last nerve. After last night, he's powerless and it's time to prove it by kicking his sorry ass to the curb.

Edited for spelling
