Remember how George Bush told that to us after one of his past election victories? Elections Have Consequences.
Well, elections don't have consequences for Joe Lieberman, the Senator with the letter I after his name:
Sen. Joseph Lieberman (I-Conn.) easily won a vote to remain chairman of a key committee today and will stay in the Democratic caucus despite his high-profile criticism of President-elect Barack Obama and his support of Sen. John McCain during the presidential campaign.
I myself think that Joe acted like a traitor to his old party, but Harry Reid disagrees:
Senate Majority Leader Harry M. Reid (D-Nev.) said that "Joe Lieberman is a Democrat. He's part of this caucus."
If the past Republican era was one where the Democrats came to face the Republicans' guns with old and rusty swords, the new Democratic era appears to be one where the main Democratic weapons are Q-tips.
