Throw Joe Lieberman under the Bus

Harry Reid met with Senator Joe Lieberman yesterday. Joe Lieberman, while ostensibly a democrat came out in support of John McCain. That in itself does not seem to be worthy of ridding the Senate caucus of him. But Lieberman did not let it go at a simple endorsement; he gave a keynote speech at the Republican convention. If as if that were not enough; he then took to the road with McCain, I can't count the number of times I have seen a camera shot of a McCain Campaign speech with a grinning Lieberman in the background; his feckless head bobbing up and down in agreement with McCain.

People are entitled to their political opinions, but if yours run counter to the party you belong to and you actively work against the parties interest; it seems to me that the least you can do is strip the apostate of his chair positions. If Lieberman wants to continue to caucus with the Democrats that's all well and fine, but allowing him to keep his chair after working against the Democratic party is too much; and corrosive of party discipline. Harry Reid needs to throw Joe under the Bus.
