With a major winter storm moving in, Senate staff is setting up cots in Hill offices to spend the night in preparation for an important procedural vote early Saturday morning that all 60 Democrats are likely needed for — except TPMDC has confirmed that Sen. Joe Lieberman has beat it back to Connecticut for the Sabbath. I guess they closed all those shuls in the DC area that he was going to walk back from on 12/5 because, you know, he’d never miss an important vote like on health care.
Tikkun Olam, Sen. Lieberman, L’ayv Echad. In many eyes, the worst he could have done is make a shande far di goyim. And he did. Just. That. If Sen. Al Franken weren’ already Jewish, we’d make him an MOT. What a mensch.
I guess there are long any local shuls for Sen. Lieberman (I-Joe). Except these.
