PARTY OF ONE. May I just say that this Orman character is now my favorite person in all of American politics? We're stuck with Weepin' Joe Lieberman for another six years. In their infinite wisdom, the voters in America's File Cabinet pried their fingers off the handles of the slot-machines in Ledyard long enough to send this human hairshirt back to the Senate, where he will maintain his seniority, assume the chairmanship of a committee, and enable public idiocy for the next six years because the majority's too thin for any other course to have been viable. The only thing left for us is ridicule, loud and unceasing, if only because Weepin' Joe is about as funny as an andiron.
This is a helluva start.
