"And, speaking of politics, dang if the Barack H. Obama Jiu Jitsu mojo isn't sweet, swift, and lethal with regard to Lieberman and the Clintons. If you don't understand what I mean let me essplain, Lucy:
Lieberman was Dead Man Walking and he knew it. Joe now has a new president, Joe campaigned for McCain, scary Rham Emmanuel is now Chief of Staff, and a tidal wave of "punish Joe" sentiment was brewing. Dead man, right? No! What did Barack bless? A plan that allowed him to keep most of his power and a slap on the wrist. Joe is now a grateful servant of King Barack. With the Minnesota and Georgia senate races still in play, and with Ted Stevens losing in Alaska, the Democratic senate is on the verge of a magic 60-vote lock-out. The beholden Joe is now a blue caucus man."

I see that Say It Ain't So, Joe voted "Yea" on the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (H.R. 1). Had Barack let the Democrats punish Joe for misdeeds, they wouldn't have had that vote.
Check the comments too [clicky] because I also stated:
"Also, with regard to Lieberman. They only need him in the short term.
You don't think he'll be tossed under the very first bus of convenience. Trust me, Lieberman is on a very short leash."
Careful driving buses around the Capital, you never know when someone will toss Joe your way.
But never mind me...I'm out of politics now (and hell if MN isn't still "in play").
