Lieberman's Good Advice: Move On!
I am as disappointed as anyone with the latest (sadly unsurprising) move by Democrats in the Senate, in which they voted overwhelmingly to allow a non-Democratic member of their caucus maintain his chair of a committee that he should have lost on performance issues alone.

In the wake of the caucus vote, Lieberman was quoted as saying,
