The MNF game btw had a ridiculous number of penalties, even with the multiple flags picked up by the officials.
Talking about ridiculous, why is Obama's name coming up in the Lieberman mess? I know he is now the titular head of the party, due to select the replacement of DNC head Howard Dean (good job), but it is not really his bailiwick. [Bill Clinton is said to be talking up JL as well, but denied it. Obama officially is not saying much either.] OTOH, Obama was a supporter (much to my annoyance) during his primary campaign versus Ned Lamont (remember him?), Lieberman basically Obama's Senate mentor. Luckily, his more asshole qualities didn't rub off, including his lack of respect for the party. This is an issue -- we are talking about his membership in the Democratic caucus.
If we are not going to be concerned about his support of its head etc., why have a party caucus in the first place? Anyway, as TPM and others have noted, unlike Rep. Waxman, Lieberman has been a total loser in the oversight department. There is no chance in hell he should have such a chairmanship. And, the idea Lieberman supported the Dems most of the time, "except" for national security issues is a nauseating line. It is moronic to consider this as some sort of aside, like he doesn't agree with the party on cattle futures or something. It was the prime issue for most of the last eight years. Of course, the guy also supported McCain, and badmouthed Obama along the way. Lieberman was a walking "legitimize Bush" machine, including on Fox News.
And, are we to think that his votes on federal judges are "national security" related too?
