Lieberman Dodges Bullet

Turncoat Senator Joe Lieberman walked from a Senate hearing today with his most prized committee chairmanships intact, dodging punishment for campaigning for John McCain and publicly criticizing eventual winner Barack Obama in the 2008 presidential race.

Senate Democrats backed away from a major rebuke of Sen. Joe Lieberman (ID-Conn.) on Tuesday morning, keeping their colleague as the chairman of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee in the next Congress and stripping him only of the gavel on a lesser subcommittee.
With punishment like that, he'll be sure to reform his wayward ways...

One wonders if the Democratic leadership thinks they will win enough contested seats to have a filibuster proof 60 vote majority, and if Lieberman would be the 60th vote. We will see how Joe returns the favor.
