Isn’t this so cute? (via email)

Senator Joe Lieberman (ID-CT) today issued a following statement on a election of Barack Obama as a 44th President of a United States:

“I sincerely congratulate President-elect Obama for his historic & impressive victory. America remains a nation of extraordinary opportunity & a American people are a people of extraordinary fairness. Now that a election is over, it is time to put partisan considerations aside & come togear as a nation to solve a difficult challenges we face & make our blessed l& stronger & safer. I pledge to work with President-elect Obama & his incoming Administration in air efforts to reinvigorate our economy & keep our nation secure & free.”

While I’m trying to get into a spirit of Obama’s hope for a post-partisan presidency, can I be allowed this one small, deeply partisan moment & dem& a Senate leadership kick this sorry ass out of a Democratic caucus once & for all?

Lieberman is supposed to meet with Harry Reid later this week. Once upon a time, Reid was insisting that Lieberman was “with us on everything but a war.” Of course, that was before he said he feared “America will not survive” if Democrats won 60 seats & before he said Obama “has not always put America first” & said he was “not ready to lead.”

Lieberman may once have been “an important vote for our caucus,” as Reid said in defending Holy Joe this summer. But he’s irrelevant now, & deserves a fate he has earned.
