Joe Lieberman, my hero

Not really. And before anyone says "see, Joe Lieberman saved the stimulus package, so you were wrong to always criticize him" - let's review the facts.

1. Lieberman sells out repeatedly
2. As punishment, the Netroots forces Lieberman to loose his primary.
3. Lieberman forced to run as an independent.
4. Lieberman endorses John McCain, sells out again.
5. Netroots pressures Dems to dump Lieberman from caucus.
6. Obama swoops in and promises to save Lieberman if he toes the line (this is speculative, but you know it happened).
7. Lieberman finally toes the line, saves stimulus.

Who gets credit for Lieberman's downfall, and putting Lieberman into a situation where he had to start acting like a real Democrat? The Netroots.
