Lieberman is in it for himself. He'll caucus with whoever can offer him the best deal. He hasn't had any loyalties to the Democratic Party in a long time, and nothing has changed.

Concerns about the senator's return were evident in an internal memo obtained by The Associated Press.
"We should discuss his schedule when he's in DC and whether it makes sense to go to Caucus events, etc. or not," wrote a senior Lieberman aide to several other top staffers.

Party leaders who try to play nice with him are being played for suckers. Lieberman already turned back on promises to stick with the Democratic Party in return for their support in the primary, and there's nothing he could say that he wouldn't toss by the wayside if it wasn't in his interest.

That's "integrity" Lieberman-style at play.
