Joe Lieberman, Revisted
I take back what I said earlier about Lieberman being a liar. It's not that cut-and-dry.
He's really just an opportunist; a parasite clinging onto whatever political party has the power.
Think about it: he went from 2000 Democratic VP candidate (in his opening speech, he said comparing himself to George W. Bush was like comparing a veternarian to a taxidermist) to Democratic Cheerleader for the Iraq Invasion/Occupation to Bush Apologist to Old School Democrat (during his election battle against Ned Lamont) to "Independent Democrat" to John McCain's BFF to his current incarnation: The Prodigal Joe.
If this was Hollywood, it would be a compelling story. But since this is (politics in) Washington D.C., it comes off being pathetic.

Sadly, the Dems will continue to use the "we need a 60-seat majority" excuse until they actually get it.
