We really want to know which way the wind blows, Joe? The other day you were dead set against the Public Option, much to the chagrin of Connecticut voters. And now:

Sen. Joe Lieberman has reached a private understanding with
Majority Leader Harry Reid that he will not block a final vote on
healthcare reform, according to two sources briefed on the matter.



The unpredictable Democrat-turned-Independent last week publicly stated
he would join Republicans in filibustering the Democratic legislation
after Reid (D-Nev.) announced he had included a government-run health
insurance plan in the bill.



But sources said Reid’s staff is telling liberal interest groups that
Lieberman (Conn.) has assured Reid he will vote with Democrats in the
necessary procedural vote to end debate, perhaps with intentions to
change the bill.

Careful or you'll end up with whiplash if you keep this up, Joe.

[update] And now you too can ride the whiplash express:
