Senator Joe Lieberman continues as chairman of the Homeland Security committee of the Senate. Democrats voted 42-13 to keep him there. Wow, what a spineless lot.
Joe's done a horrible job of keeping Bush accountable for his failures. He's held almost no hearings at all, even when shoddy construction leads to US soldiers being electrocuted while taking showers. He's okay with that.
He accused Obama of being the terrorists' choice and campaigned for Senate Republicans (Coleman MN and Collins ME).
Lieberman just bitch slapped his party and they said thank you. His 'apology' was that he was misquoted and misunderstood (i.e. we're stupid).
One of the big reasons Democrats lost so many elections throughout the 90's and after 9/11 is because they're spineless. How can we expect them to stand up against Russia, Iran, China, Hamas, and every other threat in the world if they won't stand up for themselves?
Even now with a huge Senate majority they won't stand up to Joe Lieberman. Looks like the minority Senate Republicans will spend all of 2009 and 2010 steamrolling the majority opposition party. I thought the Republicans were in trouble. But as an American officer said during the Battle of the Bulge, "They've got us surrounded again. The poor bastards."
