Today, the senate handed down their punishment for Joe Lieberman's stint on the McCain campaign. Due to his pro-McCain and anti-Obama sentiments, the Democratic caucus took away Lieberman's panel post on the Environment and Public Works. He does however get to retain his chairmanship of the Senate Homeland Security Committee .

The seething Democrats were ready to rip this Republican- in -Democrat's clothing a new one before Obama encouraged them to be lenient.

If it were up to me, Lieberman would be publicly flogged. Seriously, this jerk could have cost us the campaign! I would have had a right mind to drop a dime to Plymouth Plantation and see if any of their old stocks were in working order. Liberman and his saggy jowels could droop together and ponder what an idiot-move he made.

I don't agree with Obama's recommendation. However, his leniency and determination to not habor negative feelings, unify the country and bring this nation out of the crapper is the exact reason why I love him so much.

Kudos to me, and everyone else who voted for him. Looks like we made the right decision.
