Josh Marshall on Joe’s future

In my continuing quest to lose my bet with MZ, I submit herewith a new video from Josh Marshall about everyone’s favorite cockroach: Joe Lieberman:

This is a pretty good explanation of the way things stand right now, and the (hopefully) probable course in the future. Of course, true satisfaction, sublime schadenfreude, can only come if Obama wins the election. We could get seventy seats in the Senate and we won’t see Lieberman humiliated if McCain is elected, since Joe will be moving on to the cabinet.

Personally, I am becoming more and more convinced that even if we sweep the table, we won’t have Joe Lieberman to kick around anymore after the election. I think if Obama is elected, and we gain seats in the Senate, that Joe will take his final revenge and resign, allowing the lady with the empty head to appoint his successor. At that point all those legislators in Hartford who did nothing when they had the chance will jump up and down protesting that she has no right to steal the seat. Joe will get a highly paid position lobbying for AIPAC. There truly is no justice in this world, but we can always hope. Maybe he’ll be such damaged goods that no one would want him as a lobbyist.
