Harkin the "Intimidator"

Sen Tom Harkin seems to be enjoying his new role as the chairman of the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP - as in God help us) committee. He's added a new role: "The Intimidator"
Harkin not worried Dems are balking on health bill and Harkin: Lieberman will come around

You bet, Lieberman will come around.

“He still wants to be a part of the Democratic Party although he is a registered independent. He wants to caucus with us and, of course, he enjoys his chairmanship of the [Homeland Security] committee because of the indulgence of the Democratic Caucus. So, I’m sure all of those things will cross his mind before the final vote.”

So Harkin openly pukes out with his condescending attitude that Lil' Joe only gets ride on the trail at the whim of partisan hacks like himself. And ifn' Joe decides to ride along with a neighboring cattle drive, then the Dem Gang will just have to take his horse away from him.

And they got the power to it, too. Let's hope Lieberman stands his ground.

There you have it, Iowans. Our grand senator Harkin the Hack threatening another US Senator. We should be proud of this putz.
