Rahm Emanuel's a bull terrier -- sometimes you get Spuds MacKenzie, sometimes you get a kid in the ER with its arm bitten off. While there are places in an administration for a bull terrier, for Chief of Staff, you might be better off with a good sheepdog.
If Lieberman has any sense of self-preservation, he'll start caucusing with the Republicans. His loyalty to the Dems thus far has been a little boggling -- they betrayed him badly in his Senate race and then the DNC put a bounty on his head once he agreed to speak at the GOP convention. He's the leper in the nudist colony as far as the Dems go; the GOP will at least treat him like the fun crazy uncle.
