This is laughable - do they really think that they have the power?
Filed under "Humor". Just saw this:
Democrats may punish Liebermann for Republican convention appearance
Yup, good ole Harry Reid knows how to swing that stick, doesn't he?
Senator Joseph Lieberman, a stalwart backer of John McCain who calls himself an "independent Democrat", could face punishment from the Democratic party if he is asked to speak at this summer's Republican convention.
Actually, I think the word "independent" actually covers it - he IS an Independent as he resigned from the Democrat Party, given that they ran a candidate against him in the primary.
So, where's this punishment going to come from? If you're not part of the Party....
Lieberman has said he would appear at McCain's nominating convention if invited by the Republican, fuelling frustration among US liberals already angered by his support for the Iraq war. Democrats revoked his superdelegate status earlier this year.
OK, one whack of the stick....but it is kind of hard to have a superdelegate to your Party that, amusing to behold, isn't part of the Party (ok, that's twice)?
The onetime vice presidential nominee of Al Gore has played a pivotal role in maintaining Democrats' narrow control of the Senate. But party leader Harry Reid today left the door open to sanctioning Lieberman if he speaks in favor of McCain's nomination.
"I'll consider anything," Reid said at a breakfast with reporters today, adding that the Democratic presidential nominee, likely Barack Obama, would want to weigh in on Lieberman's future role.
Heh! Joe would have his own stick then...all Joe would have to do is migrate to the Republican caucus and then Harry's got egg on his proboscis.
The above look rational ONLY if you consider this:
Apparently, the Chinese, in their all-out effort to hold onto Tibet (for reasons I do not understand, but I’m eager to be educated on the subject),
“passed”decreed that Lamas in Tibet have to get permission from the Chinese government to be reincarnated.
Yes, you really did just read that sentence.
