In his two-step with the former Democrat turned Independent (by his own party's outraged voters) and, most recently, inseparable McCain sidekick and Obama basher, Harry Reid is showing all the resolution and skill that have marked his tenure as Senate Majority Leader.
"Joe Lieberman is not some right-wing nutcase," Reid said today. "Joe Lieberman is one of the most progressive people ever to come from the state of Connecticut."
He is also playing Reid like a cheap violin in the moves over stripping him of chairmanship of the Homeland Security Committee, as Democrats in and out of the Senate have been calling for the Majority Leader to do.
Apparently Lieberman is refusing to accept a less critical assignment and making eyes at Republican Minority Leader Mitch McConnell in a threat to switch allegiances once again.
Reid, who used to be a boxer, seems unable to recognize a feint when he sees one and call the bluff. Back here in Connecticut, voters have revised an old folk saying, "When you have Joe Lieberman for a friend, you don't need an enemy."

Perhaps not. However, Lieberman is pretty much a card-carrying Neocon, and it was the pursuit of his Neocon dreams that brought him on McCain's campaign trail and to the Republican convention.
Reid is delusional and a lousy leader if he can't see that LIEberman simply can't be trusted. Holy Joe slagged the Dem nominee for president at the GOP convention. That's all Reid has to consider. The Dems can't trust Joe, so they must punt him. Pronto.
