Joe Lieberman. In a 59 Dem senate, what should be his role?

[burythehatchet]

Personally, I don't think he should be allowed anywhere near our caucus. Does anyone think that a super majority is worth tolerating Joe?

[wallwriter]

1. How about busboy? nt

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

2. Cleaning the toilets in the Senate men's room.

[DinahMoeHum]

10. . . .with a broom closet for an office.

14. And he should scrub each toilet bowl ... With his tongue.

3. kick him out

[vanderBeth]

15. ZOMG! I love that picture.

:rofl:

[burythehatchet]

24. sad thing is,

I wore that same exact "tux" to my 1978 high school prom. :(

[vanderBeth]

25. That is sad. :(

Just remember to burn any evidence.

[Horse with no Name]

37. It actually looks like the tux on the Viagra commercial

:D

Oh BURY....fess up!

[seemslikeadream]

26. and I bet you looked really sweet

:hi:

[burythehatchet]

28. hah

There were six of us, my HS buddies, and each one of us had the same tux in different colors. As far as I know all but maybe 2 of the group table photos have been located and destroyed over the years. :)

[Horse with no Name]

36. Were you my date?

:rofl:

[LSK]

4. I think he will leave on his own

However with 58 Senate seats, the 2 Republicans from Maine (Collins and Snowe) can be persuaded on some votes.

[undeterred]

5. Handing out towells in the mens room.

[niceypoo]

6. Water boy...

...for the GOP

[zbdent]

7. He will be in his element ... he will be courted by both parties ...

for his filibuster breaking vote ... especially the Repukes ... they love him ... long time ...

8. Majority Whip-ee

9. It's doubtful ANYONE would be willing to caucus with Joe in 2009.

Most of the Democrats will reject him for his Vichy triangulation and the GOP will detest him for being associated with a losing campaign ... and because his 'loyalty' cannot be trusted. Let's remember that the (authoritarian) GOP rates 'loyalty' as the highest "virtue." McCain and Lieberman will be a stink in the Senate.

[meow2u3]

11. We already have #60: Bernie Sanders

He may be independent--more lefty than the Dems--but he caucuses with the Dems, so LIEberman is irrelevant.

[Gold Metal Flake]

34. Yup. That's right.

Lieberman is not a Dem anymore. So, let him exist on the outside.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

12. He's Irrelevant At Anything Over 50.

The only real fear has been how he caucuses, making sure we are considered the majority. That's why we cater to him. If we have more than 50 on our own, we don't need him caucusing with us. Regardless of how he caucuses, his vote is his vote anyway. That vote of his won't change whether or not we have 52 or 59 or otherwise. Over 50, then fuck Joe.

18. handing out fresh towels in the Senate toilet.

He's useless to the Democratic Party, and should NEVER be trusted again.

[dkofos]

19. He can sit there and vote his ONE vote, for the next two years. I'm

sure after this term the people of Conn. have truly had enough and will vote him OUT.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

20. Spitoon?

[Rambis]

21. Piss boy

it's a start then he shovel out the privy with a spoon.

[Marr]

22. What *should* it be, or what will Reid make it?

If Reid is in charge, you can bet your ass he'll claim Lieberman's vote means the agenda must be 100% corporate/Republican.

[burythehatchet]

23. I really hope that Obama seriously considers backing someone else for

the leadership posts in both the house and senate.

[specialed]

27. HELL NO!

F*ck joe.

[Orsino]

29. Serial apologies.

I think that would more than fill the balance of his last term. He owes us many, many apologies.

[burythehatchet]

30. he knows it. He admitted it on CNN. He said "I have a lot to atone for"

just prior to the Jewish holiday.

[Ioo]

31. floor polisher

[yellowcanine]

33. No. For anything that is worth it Dems can snag a moderate Repub. if Joe wants to sulk.

There are going to be a lot of Republicans who will want to be cooperative in a 59 seat Dem Senate with a Dem President. No need to suck up to Traitor Joe .

[Horse with no Name]

35. To start with

a supermajority with Joe is laughable.
A supermajority is ONLY as good as the way they vote.
Besides...a few weeks ago Joe said he was considering moving to the republican party. If HE is the ONE democrat that would cause us to have a supermajority in the first place...to depend on Joe to stick with the party is laughable.
