Sensitive Subject In The Senate

quote[Want to see a Democratic senator squirm? Don't ask about Iraq or gasoline prices. Ask about Joe Lieberman.

They edge toward the door, duck into the elevator, scoot down the hall to avoid the question: Will you support Joe Lieberman if he loses the Aug. 8 Senate primary to Ned Lamont and runs as an independent?

Sen. Christopher J. Dodd, D-Conn., laughs heartily and says, "My boy Joe's going to win the primary." Pressed on what would happen if he does not, Dodd gets more serious.

"I'll cross that bridge when I come to it," he said. "I learned not to answer questions like that until I have to."

Other longtime friends of Lieberman, a three-term colleague and the party's 2000 vice presidential nominee, also avoid looking too far ahead.

"At the moment we are supporting Joe Lieberman," said Sen. Charles E. Schumer, D-N.Y., chairman of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee.]

They should all shut the fuck up and support whoever WE choose to run.

Apologies for language...
