Lieberman

I can't believe there's a debate about this. Well, OK -- yes I can. The Republicans, after all, never had such a good friend, at least not recently. Evan Bayh seems to be an idiot. I'm glad he's not my senator. From Hullabaloo:

BAYH: And I think if Joe came before the caucus and said look, if I said some things that came as offensive, I’m sorry, but they were, you know heartfelt in my support of John McCain. I think we had to just let bygones be bygones. We’re going to need him on healthcare and energy independence and education and a whole lot of other things.

Lieberman supported McCain, to the extent of echoing McCain's charges that Obama is a traitor and a terrorist, and Bayh thinks he should be welcomed with open arms because it was "heartfelt." WTF? If was that heartfelt, kick him over to the Republicans -- let him poison their wells.

All this crap about Lieberman being a man of principle is so much poodle-dip. He proved that in the last election: he likes power and doesn't want to give it up. That's the nut.

Frankly, I'm glad that neither Lieberman nor Bayh is my senator.

Update: Lindsay Beyerstein's reaction is similar to mine, but somewhat more forceful. Well, sort of.
