Poor loser … wins - phooey!

Lieberman: Call me a Democrat

Sen. Joe Lieberman, who won re-election as an independent, has a message for his Senate colleagues in the next Congress: Call me a Democrat.

The three-term Connecticut lawmaker defied party leaders when he launched his independent bid after losing to Democrat Ned Lamont in the August primary.

So he loses the Democratic primary, foils the attempt of the real Democratic nominee, Ned Lamont, to win the election, and now Joe is going to be a Democrat again, retaining his seniority.

That stinks.

P.S. When I heard that Rumsfeld had "resigned" on Wednesday morning, I thought that it might be possible that Bush would appoint him Secretary of Defense, allowing the governor of Connecticut to appoint a Republican in his place, thus keeping the Dems from having a majority in the Senate. Didn't happen, but it was not outside their diabolical ways.
