The political winds blow, Creepy Joe™ Lieberman bends

The LA Times' Andrew Malcolm calls Connecticut Senator Lieberman "omni-voluble" and "sort-of member of the Democratic congressional caucus."

And Prez-elect Obama is playing Lieberman like a fiddle.

Obama has Lieberman defending Obama's desire to distribute $350 billion in bailout cash.

This, of course, is the man who Creepy Joe™ Lieberman who said:

Senator Barack Obama is a gifted and eloquent young man who I think can do great things for our country in the years ahead.

But my friends, eloquence is no substitute for a record, not in these tough times for America.

I guess "gifted and eloquent" is good enough for Lieberman these days.
