Senate's Vote to Confirm Gonzales: It's In His Kiss

Senate's Vote to Confirm Gonzales: It's In His Kiss

"Voting 'yes' were 6 Democrats: Landrieu, La.; Lieberman, Conn.; Nelson, Fla.; Nelson, Neb.; Pryor, Ark.; Salazar, Colo."

Hm. Not that the Red Staters have any excuse, but only ONE Blue State "Democrat" votes for Gonzales the Torturer.

Think it was that big old smooch from W that sealed the deal? I knew it was you, Fredo...

UPDATE: This rant at Kos is even better than my usual Lieberman loathing:

His words are used as a battering ram on his fellow Democrats, just as Pete Domenici did immediately following Joe's justifcations of torture today.

Enough is enough.

Screw trying to find a primary opponent for Joe. Let's save the hassle and the money of a brusing primary fight that might leave Joe victorious but damaged goods to be beaten by a moderate Republican in the general.

Let's kick him out now and find a suitable Democrat to run against him in the general election, with Joe running in his true party as a Republican.

Make Joe a Republican TODAY!

My plea to Harry Reid: Kick Joe Lieberman out of the Democratic caucus today. Do not delay.

(Granted, I do not know if that is even possible, but if it is, do it. Immediately.)

Let's not let him pull a Zell Miller and leave the party on his terms so he can spend months badmouthing us... like it's his decision.

We made that mistake already with Miller. And we should learn from it.
