Blame Barack.
This was his decision, as is the decision not to prosecute Bush and Cheney administrations for wiretapping or torture.
You want New Politics, you've got to let go of revenge.

#6re: Joe Lieberman will remain in Democratic Caucus
Posted: 11/18/08 at 12:30pmI kind of agree, brdlwyr. There's nothing more I'd like to see than Lieberman getting a smackdown. But at least now, instead of him feeling angry and persecuted by the Dems, he'll maybe feel ashamed and embarrassed of his actions in the face of their generosity of spirit. It's wishful thinking. But I cling to it.

In the Obama Administration, we don't smack-down.
And we never, ever, ever, EVER use words like "traitor."

Posted: 11/18/08 at 1:54pmFrom VP nominee to outcast in just 8 years. What does that say about the Democratic Party?

Posted: 11/18/08 at 2:06pmThat they're slow, because McCain went from presidential nominee to outcast in about a day!
