Lieberman Endorses McCain; DNC Slaps Lieberman

   He [1]gets it:

     âI know that it is unusual for someone like me â an Independent
     Democrat â to support a Republican candidate for president,â he
     wrote. âBut the dangers we face as a nation are too profound ⦠for
     us to let partisan politics decide who we will support.â

   And then gets it from the DNC:

     The Democratic National Committee stripped Connecticut Senator
     Joseph Lieberman of his âsuperdelegateâ status following his
     December endorsement of fellow senator John McCain of Arizona, a
     Republican, in this yearâs presidential race. The move means that
     Lieberman â who has been persona non grata in the Democratic Party
     since losing renomination in the 2006 Democratic primary and
     subsequently winning re-election to the Senate as an independent â
     will be unable to cast a vote for the partyâs nominee at the
     Democratic National Convention in August

   ...who don't get it.

     Democratic leaders at both the state and local levels said they are
     baffled at Liebermanâs decision to support a Republican but are
     unsurprised that the DNC has decided to deny him a vote at the
     convention.

   Some of us are [2]not baffled.
