Everybody now....Joementum, darling, Joementum now...

I kind of imagine that being sung to a very loose Wayne Newton-y version of "Danke Sheine."

Why? Try this on for size:

Asked on NBC's "Meet the Press" if he might follow the example of Sen. Jim Jeffords of Vermont, who left the Republicans in 2001 and became an independent, ending Republican control of the U.S. Senate, Lieberman refused to discount the possibility.

"I'm not ruling it out but I hope I don't get to that point," he said. "And I must say -- and with all respect to the Republicans who supported me in Connecticut -- nobody ever said, 'We're doing this because we want you to switch over. We want you to do what you think is right and good for our state and country,' and I appreciate that."

A spokeswoman for Lieberman would not elaborate when contacted by The Associated Press.

Begin moonbat conniption fit.......wait for it.......wait for it........NOW!

I agree with Allahpundit: he's not going to actually do it, but it's the threat that he could that could make all this very very interesting.
