And here we go..
I'd love to have seen/heard this:

Furthermore, during a Senate vote Wednesday, Obama dragged Lieberman by the hand to a far corner of the Senate chamber and engaged in what appeared to reporters in the gallery as an intense, three-minute conversation.

While it was unclear what the two were discussing, the body language suggested that Obama was trying to convince Lieberman of something and his stance appeared slightly intimidating.

Using forceful, but not angry, hand gestures, Obama literally backed up Lieberman against the wall, leaned in very close at times, and appeared to be trying to dominate the conversation, as the two talked over each other in a few instances.

1. I would've done more than lead him into a corner.
Obama is a better man than I, I'm afraid. Sounds like he still maintained his composure too.

5. anonymous I think it would be bad form for the demo nom to be beating up punks on the senator floor
although it would be pretty cool if it happen to Holy Joe.
