CNN: Lieberman "Not Happy" With Dem's Decision

So Dems are trying to spin their decision to reward Joe Lieberman with the Homeland Security Chairmanship as a 'stinging rebuke' because he's been booted from an EPW subcommittee.

As if that wasn't hilarious enough, somebody is now trying to push the idea that Lieberman is unhappy with the way things worked out:

Senate Dems had three choices here:

  1. Voting to reward Lieberman with the homeland security chairmanship, but being honest about the fact they don't think his support for the GOP policy agenda is a big deal.
  2. Voting against rewarding Lieberman, thereby sending a message that Democrats care about enacting the policy agenda Lieberman steadfastly opposed.
  3. Vote to reward Lieberman, but trying to spin it as a 'slap in the face.'

Obviously, the second option was the best. But as much as the first one would have sucked, this third option is intolerable: they are serving up a plate of steaming garbage, asking for compliments on how good it tastes.
