I've been arguing for a while that Joe Lieberman should be stripped of his committee chairs regardless of the Dem count in the Senate next year. Thismakes it a no-brainer:
Senator Joseph I. Lieberman, one of Senator John McCain’s closest confidants and a frequent companion of his on the campaign trail, has earned a speaking slot at the Republican National Convention, according to a G.O.P. official.
So long Joe. It'll be interesting if the media still finds him as important once he becomes a Republican. I don't think they will. Enjoy your anonymity and good luck with the re-election fight in 2012. Perhaps retiring to Florida will be the order of the day?
Oh, and there was no way that McCain would pick him to be his VP, the speaking slot confirms it. But I'd be willing to bet that Joe would get a cabinet slot somewhere, Defense Secretary perhaps? Joe is betting his entire political future on a McCain victory. We'll see.
