Lieberman is Still Whining

Is anyone else getting tired of listening to Joe Lieberman whine like a little child?

Senator Joe Lieberman, a Connecticut independent, says his disagreement with the Democrats over the Iraq war won’t prevent him from working with his former party. For now.

“I hope the moment doesn’t come that I feel so separated from the caucus” that he decides to shift allegiance to the Republicans, he said in an interview. Asked what Democratic actions might cause such a break, he invoked Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart’s famous 1964 definition of pornography: “I’ll know it when I see it.”

…Lieberman said he already has seen much he doesn’t like from the Democrats, particularly Majority Leader Harry Reid’s decision to co-sponsor, and then allow a vote last week on, legislation cutting off war funding by March.

How much have you seen from Joe Lieberman that you don’t like? If Lieberman would stop bashing Democrats in national press appearances and interviews maybe Democrats would treat him with a little respect. After all, Sens. Carper, Lincoln, Landrieu, Baucus, and Ben Nelson all have worse voting records and they don’t get beat up constantly by Democratic activists.
