All I can say about the following story is good this is more what I've been wanting to hear, it's about time. All good Democrats want traitorous Joe Lieberman stripped of his chairmanship as soon as possible after the new Congress convenes.
Reading between the lines of Pelosi's remarks, I have no doubt the effort would have already been made had the Democrats held a larger majority. Pretty soon the traitor can be all yours Pubs, he'll fit right in.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi blasted Sen. Joe Lieberman today for making what she called "totally irresponsible" remarks about Democrat Barack Obama, which she warned could prompt Senate Democrats to strip him of his committee chairmanship.
Pelosi bluntly explained that Senate Democrats are leery of challenging Lieberman because his vote is crucial to maintaining the Democrats' 51-49 majority in the Senate. But she warned that Lieberman's top spot on the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee could be in jeopardy next year if the Democrats gain seats in the Senate in November.
"The Democrats in the Senate are in a tough spot. They have 51 votes. Joe Lieberman organizes with them," she said. "In 85 days or something, they will have five more Democrats they won't need him to make the majority. And it will be interesting to see what the leadership in the Senate, the Democratic leadership in the Senate, does at that point in terms of Joe Lieberman's chairmanship of his committee."
