Democrats Wave Goodbye to Lieberman

While I am absolutely not a fan of Robert Novack I sure like the sound of this article of his. I grabbed this from over at  http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2008/07/goodbye_joe.html  You'll need to click the link to read the whole thing, but here are an excerpt:

Despite assurances to the contrary from Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, Democratic insiders are certain Sen. Joseph Lieberman next year will be kicked out of the party's caucus and lose his Senate chairmanship if he addresses the Republican National Convention in St. Paul, Minn., as planned.

Then the Hill has an article about Lieberman's role next year.  You can read the whole thing by clicking here. This is my favorite excerpt:

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) on Thursday did not rule out removing Sen. Joe Lieberman from his coveted chairmanship in 2009, but he pleaded for critics to leave the Connecticut Independent alone.

Asked whether he plans to retaliate against Lieberman next year by stripping him of his chairmanship on the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, Reid said, “Let’s talk about this year” and stressed Lieberman’s importance to the Democrats in the 110th Congress.

Ahhhh.... Liebermann.... it will be so good to see you go. Here's to big wins in the U.S. Senate for progressives so that the Democrats can afford to kick Joe clean out.
