The honeymoon is well over

The upcoming Democratic-majority US Congress may well be as bad as the current one. One positive: maybe the Dems will stick it to President Bush. One negative: do they have enough of a majority — even in their own party — to get anything done, let alone show the president that he is not the sovereign leader of America (or the world)? The squabbling — regardless of political affiliation — over Iraq shows that the American people may be in for some ride these next years.

The honeymoon was over when that putz Lieberman said he considered switching to Republican...

Yes, I guess that the sirens started ringing even before Pelosi started meeting some opposition from her own party, as well as many others. Lieberman may just want the backing of other conservative-leaning Democrats. One thing is for sure, he does not want to be put in the total back seat, nor does he want to be ignored of shunned by the Dems if he can just caucus with the GOP.
