Of course everybody's been talking about the fact that Senator Patrick Leahy has called for Joe Lieberman to be stripped of his powerful committee chairmanship in light of all his...well, you know. Within hours, Senator Sanders followed suit, and the two have been receiving a whole world of love from new media sites.
Of course, we have somebody else to thank as well. Senator Leahy didn't just volunteer this information unbidden. He was on a Vermont Public Radio call in show, and his statement was in response to a direct question from a caller, and it was that caller who lit the fuse on the whole story (you can listen to the question here). The caller was simply identified as "Bill from Ripton." The fact is, he's just some guy who kicks around at some of the local Vermont blogs. I think he wrote a book or something.
Anyway, thanks Bill. I guess that does it for your fifteen minutes of fame.
