You already know the set up: Joe Lieberman loses the Democratic primary. Joe Lieberman leaves the Democratic Party. Joe Lieberman forms an independent political party (called the “Connecticut for Lieberman Party”). Joe Lieberman wins a Senate seat. Joe Lieberman leaves the Connecticut for Lieberman Party and rejoins the Democratic Party.
Here’s the punchline: Fairfield University professor John Orman joins the Connecticut for Lieberman Party, elects himself chairman (as sole member of the party), and adopted bylaws that allow anyone critical of Joe Lieberman may seek the Connecticut for Lieberman Party nomination in future elections.

Good.
Christ that man annoys me. His voice, his demeanor. His politics are fairly close enough to mine, but he just loves fighting loss. And to name a party after yourself is just ass.
