Lieberman Booted by Dems
Lieberman ousted from environmental committee.
November 20, 2008
The Democrats decided Sen. Joe Lieberman’s fate this week after booting him from the Environment and Public Works Committee. A registered independent from Connecticut, Lieberman enthusiastically supported presidential candidate John McCain during election season, which rubbed some staunch Democrats the wrong way. The slap-on-the-wrist move was a blow to environmentalists, as Lieberman introduced the first climate bill in 2003, co-sponsored the Climate Security Act, and was known to criticize the Bush administration’s policies on global warming.
