1. He supported McCain over Obama... |
|
Why shouldn't they be kissing his feet to get him to join the Administration?

2. Hopefully Obama will, though. |

Why Obama would want this turncoat who supported Mac & Twit over him is beyond me. It says a lot about how different their politics are and why Lieberman would not be a good fit in the Obama Administration.
But in the spirit of bipartisanship I wouldn't be surprised of Obama takes him.

4. Nothing surprises me anymore |
|
However, as of now Loserman is still a US Senator until 2012.
If I were the president I would offer him a job right now and after he accepted and they fill his Senate seat, I'd fire his ass.

5. He wouldn't rule out a Nobel Prize, either. Doesn't mean it would ever be offered him. n/t |

8. Is he trying to insinuate that the Obama administration |
|
should offer him a job? Boy, that's more than brazen and bold.

15. He also didn't rule out getting elected president... |
|
...when all he had going for him was "Joe-mentum" instead of primary votes.
The man is a legend in his own mind.

16. Dick Cheney would Probably Approve of Such a Move |
|
and so would Bob Scheiffer, George Will, Tweety, and the rest of the movers and shakers!
Sounds like a winner !!!

19. I think it would be a shrewd move by Obama and would help Lieberman |
|
save face. It would also guarantee a Democratic Senator in CT for the next two years and give that senator a jump on the next election in 2012.
