On the heels of the so called  tidal wave of “change” election of Barack Obama bringing an end to the same old politics the far left wing nutroot blogs have been completely consumed with their self serving, foaming at the keyboard, partisan temper tantrums in their quest to punish Senator Lieberman. And to no avail as usual.

So much for that left wing blog power. Well at least the nutroots are starting to realize one thing… the beltway insiders are not laughing with them…

Jane Hamsher:

Asked what it would mean if Lieberman kept his chairmanship, one Senate Democratic aide said bluntly: “The left has been foiled again. They can rant and rage but they still do not put the fear into folks to actually change their votes. Their influence would be in question.”

I hope this puts to rest the notion that this is all some master stroke of kumbayah, of keeping your friends close and your enemies closer.

This is about telling you that you mean nothing. That democracy is a nice word, but it should never threaten the entitlement of the most exclusive club in the world.

No matter what Joe Lieberman does, the people who are protecting him hate you much more than they hate him.

There’s that. But there’s also disdain for the American electorate that voted in overwhelming numbers for change from the discredited Bush/McCain/Lieberman policies. But in a city known for tone-deafness, there clearly isn’t a more tone-deaf group than the Senate Dems.

I’m done with Reid as Senate leader.

What a moron Kos is, never one word about what Lieberman has brought to the democrat table, the only thing the nutroots want is the political blood of Joe Lieberman for kicking the crap out if Nutroot Neddy Lamont in 2006. With the election of Barack Obama just like the reelection of Joe Lieberman the nutroots had NOTHING to do with the winning candidate and they can’t face the truth.

Another pure knee-jerk temper tantrum by the nutroots recognized as such by the Democratic leadership.

Another left wing temper tantrum laughed at by the DC Politicians they claim to control. Hee..he..

Sen. Joe Lieberman to keep committee chair despite backing John McCain for president - MassLive.com

WASHINGTON - U.S. Sen. Joe Lieberman will keep his chairmanship of the Senate Homeland Security Committee despite hard feelings over his support for GOP nominee John McCain during the presidential campaign.

The Connecticut independent will lose a panel post on the Environment and Public Works panel as punishment for criticizing Barack Obama this fall.

Lieberman’s colleagues in the Democratic caucus voted 42-13 Tuesday to approve a resolution condemning statements made by Lieberman during the campaign but allowing him to keep the Homeland Security Committee gavel.

Harry Reid makes my blood boil but I give Reid credit where it’s due:

When asked what his message is to Democrats who are still angry at Lieberman, the Democratic leader responded, “I would defy anyone to be more angry than I was… but I also believe that you look at the problems we face as a nation, is this the time we walk out of here saying, ‘Boy did we get even.’?”
