I made note a while back that one of the few bright spots in the November elections was that the most powerful Senator in the incoming Senate would be Joe Lieberman. Formally it had been Lincoln Chaffee.
I also watched with amazement at how graciously Lieberman went back to work with all his colleagues who had stabbed him in the back.
Well, Joementum is now fessing up - it's an awfully hard thing to do...
Imus asked Lieberman if he is a vengeful person and felt any animosity toward Dodd and his fellow members of the Democratic Party that Lieberman represented for so long.
"There’s a little of that in me,” Lieberman said. "It is very hard to forget, but you try to and you go on because you have a job to do. Chris is a good guy, he’s a credible candidate for president and I wish him well.”
As for the 2008 race, Lieberman said his new role as an independent puts him in a great position to survey the field without political commitment.
"This has all liberated me to truly be the independent that I was elected as and that’s not bad,” Lieberman said. "I’ll sit back in the presidential [campaign] and see what the field is like as we get toward the end and decide who I think can be the best president regardless of party. It’s a pleasure to sit back and watch the others go at it.”
