Maybe Barry

should go after the nutroots for having run Joseph Lieberman out of the Democratic Party following the Lamont debacle, one of the reasons I thoroughly despise the "progressive" blogosphere.

The Lamont thing was a complete and total disaster for the Democrats, and it was unforgivable.

Neither party is officially talking. But while Lieberman spokesman Marshall Whitman says the conversation was "a cordial and friendly discussion" and Obama campaign spokesman Bill Burton says it was "private and friendly," Democratic sources tell ABC News that the conversation was a stern rebuke to Lieberman for his criticism of the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee on the conference call, as well as a discussion about how far Lieberman is willing to go in his advocacy of McCain, and the tone of the campaign.

"It's one thing to support McCain," said one Democratic source, "but many think Uncle Joe has gone too far."

Too bad, too fucking sad, you corrupt Chicago son of a bitch.
