Spinelessness Abounds
Dems in Congress continue to display the spinelessness that's carried them through the last two years of an extremely unpopular Bush administration by forgiving an extremely unpopular Joe Lieberman for enthusiastically campaigning against their own candidate for President. Depressing.

This is why republicans hate us...We make for some pretty awesome punching bags.
This is a totally dumb move if you ask me. It's not about "punishment." It's about the fact that the guy is not a member of the party, hasn't been for quite awhile now, and doesn't deserve the privileges as if he is.
I was rooting for dropping Lieberman; but Obama's attempts to keep his friends close and enemies closer may be pragmatic (if less satisfying). He's effectively castrating many of his potential rivals prior to trying to push legislation through (see Clinton, Hilary and McCain, John). Maybe it'll be alright...
If I ever saw Lieberman I'd have a hard time not kicking him in the shins. His betrayal is the only thing that makes me feel better about Gore not becoming President in '00.
