As soon as Leahy complained about what Lieberman said about Obama and how terrible it was, I knew Lieberman was keeping his gavel. It's the Democratic pattern of capitulation: send out some people to express the outrage that you think Democrats want you to express, then come back in the chamber and do what Republicans want you to do. Feed the base with some red-meat words to pacify them, then go about your business anyway. The base will still vote for you.
