Lieberman is right to threaten to filibuster
I mean it serves his personal interest, like supporting the Iraq War and backing McCain. AND it is obvious that there is no repercussions from the Democratic leadership.
It's not like he acts out of what's right or what his state voters want.
So why the hell shouldn't he do it?

5. We should divide the dollar amount of his filibuster by the
number of hours he filibusters and figure his hourly pay rate. That would put his filibuster in the right light.
