Lieberman could lose chairmanship, Democrats warn
Source: CNN

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Sen. Joe Lieberman's speech before the Republican National Convention Tuesday night could cost him the chairmanship of a key Senate committee, a top Senate Democratic aide told CNN.

During the speech, the Connecticut senator praised GOP presidential candidate Sen. John McCain and criticized Democratic nominee Sen. Barack Obama.

"The Democratic Caucus will reassess the situation with Sen. Lieberman after the election," Jim Manley, a spokesman for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, said Wednesday.

Lieberman, the Democratic nominee for vice president in 2000, now calls himself an "independent Democrat," but he remains a member of the Senate Democratic Caucus, which allows him to head the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee.

16. my 1st thought...
 COULD?!

**** you, Joe.
We need to take Joe for a ride on the Jersey turnpike...and then take the canolis. (figuratively, of course....I don't want anymore black helicopters flying over my house).
If Reid & Co can't clip his ass now for voting reasons, they should absolutely drill him in the press and exclude him as best they can until we win the solid majority in November. Then drill him. Of course, by then Joe will have affixed the 'R' next to his name anyway.

Oh...did I mention?
**** you, Joe.

But we agree, **** you Joe Liarman

Thats smart.  Boot him from the chairs.  What a great reason to get him to shift caucases.  Then that precious majority that the democrats hold will be gone.

Do these people think at all?

71. Any independent...
 ...can caucus with a party and that counts for electing the majority leader, committee chairs, etc.

Look at Bernie Sanders from Vermont.

All this bluster and keyboard courage and not a ONE of them has the smarts to realize THEY and their socialist/communist agenda are the reason that during the last two GOP Conventions there has been a life long democrat speaking from OUR podium.

And yet if a Republican speaks good things of a demoNrat, its a mandate for change, but if a even former dem speaks good things about a Republican, its FU off to the showers with him.
DU thy name is hypocrisy.  :thatsright:

Rather than being a democrat on a senate committee, Lieberman may instead find himself the next Secretary of State. That job would take advantage of his obvious patriotism (which disqualifies him as a democrat), while neutering his regretably misguided stance on domestic policy.
