Droopy Lieberman on FOX: Take the Public Option Off the Table If You Want My VoteUpdated at 1:27 PM

There are a lot of questions out there about just how seriously people should be taking the promise of a pro-filibuster vote that Sen. Joe Lieberman, I-Conn., made on Tuesday. But for now at least, the self-styled "independent Democrat" is sticking to his guns and saying that he won't vote for cloture on any bill that includes a public option.

During an interview on Fox News Wednesday, Lieberman was asked, "What gets your vote, then? What can Sen. Reid offer to you?"

Lieberman responded, "Well, just so much of the rest of the bill. Just take this government-created, government-run health insurance company that will cost the taxpayers, premium payers and the debt a lot of money -- take it off the table." He added, "We can come back in three or four years if the reforms -- the other reforms we adopt are not working. But I think they will. And so, that's -- that's my position, and I'm sticking to it, because I think it's best for our country and my constituents."

7. Don't need it, Joe.
Vote for the bill to get it to the floor. That's all we need you to do. Then you can go whack off over John McCain's corpse.

17. It sounds like he's going to run again and expects to be re-elected
He's talking about waiting 3 or 4 years to see how the so-called reforms work out and then taking more time to make further adjustments, which could take even more years after that. Lieberman is clearly trying to satisfy the Connecticut-based insurance companies and keep their campaign contributions flowing to him into the future.
