The Hill is reporting the possibility of Senate Democrats stripping Joe of his Committee Assignments. If the Democrats takeover in November, Joe would become Chairman of both the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committees. Yes, those would be the ones in charge of investigating many Bush policies and actions.
The Hill
A group of Senate Democrats is growing increasingly angry about Sen. Joe Lieberman's (D-Conn.) campaign tactics since he lost the Democratic primary last week.
If he continues to alienate his colleagues, Lieberman could be stripped of his seniority within the Democratic caucus should he defeat Democrat Ned Lamont in the general election this November, according to some senior Democratic aides.
People, this is great and is exactly what we want. Could you imagine Joe being in charge of investigations through the Governmental Affairs committee?
The article also goes on to talk about a certain other Senator trying to convince the DSCC not to give Lamont any money.
Carper's chief of staff, Jonathan Jones, has contacted Democratic aides recently and urged them that the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee should not spend money in the race between Lieberman and Lamont, said two Democratic aides familiar with the conversations. Jones said the money would be better spent elsewhere since the seat will remain in Democratic hands, said the sources.
It's a great and explosive article, go read it!
