Lieberman to liberals: Bite me

The senator laughs off suggestions of retribution if he votes down healthcare reform legislation

Published November 19, 2009 9:35PM (EST)

Sen. Joe Lieberman, I-Conn., isn't worried about Democrats getting angry if he votes with Republicans to filibuster healthcare reform legislation. But the reason for his lack of concern that he gave Politico this week may make some liberals even madder:

Ouch.
