"Senator Reid was very disappointed in Senator Lieberman's speech, especially when he appeared to go out of his way to distort Senator Obama's record of bipartisan achievements in the Senate," said Reid's spokesman, Jim Manley. "The Democratic caucus will likely revisit the situation with Senator Lieberman after the elections in November."
Manley would not address what sort of punishment Democrats would consider, but said no sanction would be imposed until after the November elections...
...Democrats are expected to win four to eight Senate seats in November. If that happens, Democratic senators and aides have privately said, Lieberman may face punishment from the caucus because its members could afford to risk his walking across the aisle and caucusing with the Republicans. If Lieberman were to do that now, the Democrats would cede control of a 50-50 Senate to the Republicans, because Vice President Cheney would cast tie-breaking votes.
But on Wednesday, Democrats stated publicly for the first time that Lieberman faced consequences for his actions, particularly after the speech here.
"He clearly went too far," Manley said of Lieberman.
Wake up America. When did it become legal to carry out punitive acts of reprisal for political speech at a party convention?
Both Reid and Pelosi need to be immediately removed from office.
