Odd phrasing from Josh Marshall over at talkingpointsmemo:

What does seem clear to me is that Lieberman’s days in the Democratic caucus, or more specifically, his days with a committee chairmanship courtesy of the Democratic caucus are numbered in months.

It’s easy to see how it could happen — Marshall wanted to convey the scope of time explicitly (e.g. Lieberman is in trouble come Election Day or thereabouts), and “Your months are numbered” isn’t any good — but adding units on to the end of the fixed phrase just doesn’t work for me.

Or it does work for me in a making-me-chuckle sort of way, I guess.
