Ned Lamont overtakes vertically challenged incumbent in CT race

Democratic challenger Ned Lamont has jumped into a commanding lead over Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman (D-Conn.) in Tuesday's Senate primary, according to a Quinnipiac University poll. Lamont leads Lieberman 54 to 41 percent and has gained serious momentum over the lilliputian incumbent and losing Democratic vice presidential nominee. For more information, go to the Washington Post's online article.

What does all this mean for the sawed-off turncoat from Connecticut? Next January, we'll see Crazy Joe a) mount a modestly lucrative lecture tour; b) join the faculty of a prestigious college; or c) lick his wounds and write a book.

“It’s time for Democrats who distrust President Bush to acknowledge that he will be the commander in chief for three more critical years and that in matters of war we undermine presidential credibility at our nation’s peril.”

Who better to refute this statement that Joe Lieberman himself? "A president does not rule, he governs. He remains always answerable to us, the people. And right now, the president’s conduct of our foreign policy is giving the country too many reasons to question his leadership. It’s not just about 16 words in a speech, it is about distorting intelligence and diminishing credibility.” 7/28/03



In November, 2003, Crazy Joe accused Bush of lying to Americans about everything from national security to helping the poor. “There has been one value repeatedly missing from this presidency, and that value is integrity,” Lieberman said. “By deception and disarray, this White House has betrayed the just cause of fighting terrorism and tyranny around the world.” Leaking the CIA employee’s name “was the politics of personal destruction at its worst,” he said.
