Sen. Joe Lieberman announced his retirement today, and after a long career of public service as Connecticut's senior Senator. All this blogger can say is "YIPPEE!"
Look, Senator Lieberman will not be forgotten for endorsing Senator John McCain over Senator Barack Obama for President in 2008. Just thinking about that again brings up bad memories for many Democrats.
In 2008, Lieberman took Obama to task for his words putting the blame for the rise of Iran on America's fighting the Iraq War, which Obama has long said was the wrong war.
Rather than siding with Obama, Lieberman went against him even though he was warned not to do so. In one of the dumbest political moves since Nixon and Watergate, Joe was so sure Obama was going to lose, and probably because he thought America would not vote for a black person for President, he openly went against him.
Today, Joe smartly looked around and figured he would have a hard time getting money and help, especially from Dems.
Now Connecticut can vote for a real Democrat for Senator.
