It looks like Reid told him that his committee chairmanship was toast.

Considering the fact that he has slammed the party’s nominee and refused to use his position as head of the Homeland Security committee to pursue legitimate issues against Bush and His Evil Minions^&trade, I think that Reid is being too magnanimous.

It goes without saying that Lieberman with investigatory powers will spend his time trying to inflict injury to the Democrats who rejected him in the primary by harassing Obama.
