While some Democrats seem to remember where they left their collective spines, Joe Lieberman can't decide if he'd prefer an exo-skeleton or whether he really is more inclined towards the watery spinelessness of a jellyfish:

...several Democrats, such as Sen. Joe Lieberman of Connecticut, support Rice's nomination.

"I've always believed that our responsibility to advise and consent does not mean that we have to agree with every opinion or every action that the nominee has ever taken," Lieberman said in his opening remarks.

"Our responsibility is to determine whether the nominee is fit for the position ... and whether the nominee, in our judgment, will serve in the national interest. And of course I conclude that Dr. Condoleezza Rice meets that standard at least and much more."

Way to go, Joe.
