So it appears that Joe Liberman has now hamstrung the health care “reform” bill to the point that there will be no public option, no expanded medicare, etc etc…leaving us with an absolute abortion of a bill that will merely force lower class citizens to buy ever-increasing private insurance. This from a man who has become a pathetic shadow of his former self. How odd, that a Senator from Connecticut would be a shill for the insurance and financial companies.

It’s time. It’s time to stop appeasing this jackass and pretending that he’s anything other than the Republican that he is. Strip him of his seniority, his Committees, of anything resembling power or a platform. Let him play out the string as Senator #100, unable to pass the lowest of bills. Let him crawl over to the Republicans and then lose handily in 2012.
