Last summer, former Connecticut U.S. Senator Joseph Lieberman, after finishing up 24 years in the Senate, took a job with the New York law firm of Kasowitz Benson Torres & Friedman. His niche is helping clients navigate the nuances of the federal government and its regulations.

Now it seems that he has some extra time on his hands. Last week, it was announced that the 71-year-old Lieberman, a former Connecticut attorney general, had taken a second position.
