So says the AP:
Sen. Joe Lieberman will keep his chairmanship of the Senate Homeland Security Committee despite hard feelings over his support for GOP nominee John McCain during the presidential campaign.
The Connecticut independent will lose a minor panel post as punishment for criticizing Obama this fall.
Politics as usual.
UPDATE: From the mouths of babes.

As if this outcome wasn’t predicted!
If there anyone out there who still thinks that Repuglicrats are not whores for AIPAC?
AIPAC wins again.
It’s not politics as usual. It’s change!
This has little to do with AIPAC and everything to do with the ‘old boys club’ that the Senate has always been.
I can’t put any blame for this other than on the senior Senators like Dodd, etc that argued for a minor slap on the wrist for the political sellout that Lieberman has become.
AIPAC is an issue that will be dealt with, it so happens that this Republican in Democratic clothing is a major player in that. It has nothing to do with how Democrats deal with one of their caucus members that has crossed over to the other side.
I hope I don’t find out that implicit permission was given beforehand, knowing that Lieberman would be a McCain butt boy.
Are we revisiting kicking Mimi out of the party yet?
I hold ordinary citizens and elected officials to a difference standard, silence.
