Time For Joe Lieberman To Give Up His Chairmanship

Time to call your Senators to strip Lieberman of his Chairmanship of the Committee on Homeland Security. Markos has a great write-up on this at the DailyKos. Basically he argues, we can even consider giving Lieberman some form of chairmanship so as long as it is not related to foreign policy and/or National Security. That's because those are the most salient points of disagreement between him and real Democrats (though certainly not the only, afterall he did stand at rally after rally and clap as Obama was called a socialist by McCain and Palin). I mean him having chairmanship of those committees allows for him to show up in wacko videos like the one below (thanks to TPM for the picture):


UPDATE: And it's reported that Obama wants Lieberman to stay a Democrat--fine, let him stay one--but nowhere have we heard him say he wants him to keep his chairmanship. Obama doesn't want to appear vindictive, that's understandable. But we also don't want our National Security in the hands of one of George Bush's biggest cheerleaders.
