And there’s not a goddamn thing you can do about it. Don’t like it? Tough shit; AIPAC is calling the shots, and if AIPAC wants Joe to head this committee, then the Democrats are going to make damn sure he continues to head this committee. And they will, just watch. They know where their bread is buttered.
Obama’s election is already seen by the Israel-first hawks as a blow - they wanted McCain. Israel was the only country that didn't go for Obama. There's no way Israel's Senator In Washington is going to be stripped of his chairmanship of the HSC. The Dems will take away one of Joe's lesser positions, like his subcommittee on global warming, but they will not touch Lieberman's HSC chairmanship.
I love all these diaries screaming NO WAY CAN LIEBERMAN KEEP THE HSC CHAIR! And IT WOULD BE UNACCEPTABLE! I'm going to love them even more after Tuesday, when the rationalizations start.
Joe will stay as head of the Homeland Security Committee. Guaranteed.
