Would it have been better to not have a lead in the Senate if we could have finally eliminated LiebesBush from the party? Here's LiebesBush at Meet The Press over the weekend.

LIEBERMAN: The fact is that this was not a major realignment election in my opinion. This was the voters in Connecticut and elsewhere saying we are disappointed with the the Republicans. We want to give the Democrats a chance. But I believe that the American people are considering both major political parties to be in a kind of probation because their understandably angry that Washington is dominated too much by partisan political games and not enough by problem solving and patriotism.

Ok. This was "not a major realignment"? Both parties are in a "kind of probation"? Washington politicians haven't been demonstrating enough "problem solving and patriotism"?

I can not believe this guy. He's a mole for the Republicans. Here he is, ostensibly a Democrat, and it's one week after an election that will put him in charge of some committee, return his old party to power, and he doesn't think that's a realignment? Further, he doesn't think that all the flag-waving and patriotic grandstanding has been adequate? What does that mean? He's already bad-mouthing his own party when he should be on his knees asking forgiveness for planting his head squarely up Bush's ass for the last 3 years. Here's Georgia10's take over at Kos:

Lieberman was elected with a new party label, but he's still the same ol' Joe: the quintessential politician who is poorly mimicking the maverick "independent" by trashing friend and foe alike.

Call me an "Independent Democrat", he says. It's a label which gives squirmy Joe the perfect cover, permitting him to simultaneously lift his finger to wind while using his other hand to stab the Democratic Party in the back. That party, though, contrary to Lieberman's suggestion, without question bleeds red, white, and blue.

LiebesBush is an underminer. I realize we're holding onto a pretty tenuous lead in the Senate, but I wonder if having LiebesBush in the party is worth it. If we gain some more seats in the next cycle they should kick him out of the caucus and take away his seniority. He needs to be relegated to the trash-heap of the Senate, because he's just bad for the Democratic party.
