It sure didn’t take Joe Lieberman long to trot out his new image as an independent. In his “concession speech,” he accused Lamont of being guilty of “the same old partisan politics that have paralyzed Washington for years.”

To which we say: !?!?!!!

Let’s hope Clinton (either) can pull off the “for the good of the party/here’s a plump ambassadorship” move and get JoeEgo to take a graceful bow and exit the state. I say that, though there is something kind of appealing about watching Joe and Ned slug it out in Round Two.
