I was saying around the office that I think what was missing from the Lieberman public option sellout deal was a healthy dose of liberal catharsis. Like if Lieberman got the leadership to agree to drop the public option, but in exchange Bernie Sanders gets to slap Lieberman five times in the face as hard as he can. Then maybe people could feel a bit better about being made to do something distasteful. Didn’t play out that way, but Al Franken’s dose of petty vengeance here captures some of the spirit:
