Figures

Lieberman's safe, with only 13 Democratic Senators voting against the turncoat in today's secret ballot on his future as chair of the important Homeland Security Committee . Much talk of unity, blah blah blah, but, of course, as we speak, the GOP is sharpening its knives, ready to carve up unity, togetherness, and other chimeras from the get-go. Lieberman's kinda-sorta mea culpa was the usual mush-mouthed bullshit: some of the things I'm quoted as saying I didn't say; some of them were misquoted; some I said, true, but while I was in the heat of the moment when I have no control over my mouth when I'm only one Karl Rove away from being a VP candidate again, only for the GOP this time. Blah blah blah. He's in the Senate for another four years. Sigh.
