I loathe Lieberman

Someone at Daily Kos dug up this article about Joe Lieberman in last Thursday’s Hartford Courant:

Lieberman’s constant presence at McCain’s side fuels speculation that he would join a McCain administration. Yet he already has talked with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid about his future in the caucus.

Would Lieberman, 66, a four-term Connecticut senator, be stripped of his committee chairmanship and seniority if Democrats no longer had to rely on a self-described “Independent Democrat” for their one-vote majority?

“I can tell you Sen. Reid had talked to me a few times and said he knows there will be talk if we get more than 51 Democrats next year,” Lieberman said. “As far as he is concerned, I will retain my seniority, etc., no matter how many Democrats there are next year.”

Reid’s spokesman, Jim Manley, confirmed Lieberman’s account.

I’ve been rather indifferent about Reid, but if this is true, he’s gotta go in 2009.

And if that wasn’t enough, Lieberman, Lieberman, pants on fire. What a yucky person.

I hate that perfidous, droning, mealy-mouthed bastard with the red-hot heat of 10,000 suns. I sincerely hope Reid is just blowing smoke up Holy Joe’s ass, biding his time so he can kick the treacherous sumbitch to the curb the minute the Dems have a solid majority. If not, then why the fuck bother having party designations at all? Seriously? I also hope like hell the people of Connecticut realize the error of their ways next go-round and boot the bastard altogether.

Betty, I’ve been too busy to venture down into comments lately to say hello, but, good christ, do your comments (and your posts at your blog) brighten my day.
