Is Harry Reid incompetent?

What's his problem? We have Joe Lieberman openly campaigning for republican candidates for congress today, and at the same time keeping his seniority and his committee assigments on behalf of the democratic party. That's a very bizzare situation.

Dont take me wrong, I like Harry Reid. I think he is a good democrat and has been a good leader so far. But he is simply not doing his job as it relates to Joe Lieberman. There is no organization that would tolerate a member that is openly trying to undermine the organization from within.

As an example: How would the CEO of an organization deal with a senior employee who instead of promoting his company's products, is openly promoting the worst competitor of the company? The CEO would simply fire such an employee. If the CEO takes no action, he/she would be held responsinble and be fired by the board of trustees.

So, what is Harry Reid doing? He should immediately strip Lieberman of his seniority and assure the democratic voters that the democratic party will protect its interests. Otherwise, he should be help responsible for this bizzare situation.
