I ran across the following from the Hartford Courant as quoted by TPM.
When you consider the plight in which Harry Reid finds himself, consider this: Lieberman, who has broken violently with his party and engaged in campaigning loathsome fear-mongering against the man he once begged to come and save him, holds a prestigious committee chairmanship.
Hillary Clinton, at the moment, has no chairmanship at all because of the seniority system.
Aside from the fact that Liebermann stabbed Obama and the Democratic party in the back and is a sniveling traitor, another, perhaps more compelling, reason for giving old Joe the heave-ho is that as chairman of the Homeland Security committee, he conducted zero/zilch investigations into the Bush administration crimes/misconduct. Compare that with the numerous investigations that Representative Henry Waxman conducted!
Now, you just know that if Hillary were to become chairman of Homeland Security, she would not be a shrinking violet and would go after all the bad guys with a vengeance. So Senator Reid, why don't you kill two birds with one stone--get rid of Joe and appoint Hillary chairman of the Homeland Security Committee? Hillary would be superb!
