Lieberman arm-twisting Ben Nelson to kill public option

By GottaLaff

“MartyEisenstadt” poses for a photo with Sen. Joe Lieberman - moments before Lieberman and Blue Dog Dems invaded Sen. Ben Nelson’s office for some arm-twisting.

UPDATE: In comments, Eitan Gorlin just clarified:

In talking to Wolfrum, I may have gotten caught up in the excitement of my own speculation. The only thing I am sure of is "moderates" I mentioned met today in Nelson's office behind closed doors without staff or press.

Thank you, Eitan, much appreciated.

Original post:

One of my Twitter buddies, Wolfrum, alerted me to a post of his about Traitor Joe's latest antics. Grab your Pepto and let's dive in:

This is a true story as related to me by Eitan Gorlin.

Martin Eisenstadt creators Eitan Gorlin and Dan Mirvish were in Washington D.C. today, tooling about Congress pressing the flesh to promote their new book [...]

Moments after the picture was taken, however, Gorlin informs me that Lieberman, along with Blue Dog Democrat Senators Mary Landreau and Blanche Lincoln and one Senator they couldn’t identify went into the office of fellow Blue Dog Ben Nelson, leaving the Eisenstadt duo behind. [...]

Gorlin:

“It was obvious what was happening. Nelson is the swing vote on health care reform and everybody in Washington is talking about him.”[...]

“You’re going to see Nelson come out against the health care reform bill, I’m sure of it,” said Gorlin.

When will the Dems finally wake up and tell the Joe the Bummer that he's out as committee chairman? ... Followed by voters telling him he's out of career options.
