Oops

That story making the rounds about Lieberman campaigning for Republicans? As it turns out, not so true.

Holy Joe merely showed up at an event/policy meeting for elected officials which several Republicans also attended.

Good on you, Susie. We can hate Lieberman all we like, but for the right reasons. We don’t need to make shit up.

Five simple questions, which are basic for anyone who is actually trained to be a journalist.

Were any Democrats there?

Who were they?

Why were no Democrats there?

Were they invited?

Why weren’t they invited?

If no Democrats were invited, it was political.

I mean, I’m just saying, you know?

joe has been doing the snuggle-snuggle,
wink-wink with republicans as long as i can remember. he said, yesterday, that he’s a noncombatant in the congressional races and will not be endorsing democratic candidates- so the distinction between this and campaigning for republicans is microscopic. weaselly fuckwad.

Lurch, Blumenthal was there. Nancy Johnson (R), Chris Shays (R) and Rosa DeLauro (D) were not there, as the base is not in their Congressional District. It’s Rob Simmons’ (R) district, hence his appearance. The governor was there, and Chris Dodd was invited, but had another obligation (remember, he’s running for President in ‘08.)

There was an identical event at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in Kittery, Maine the same day, attended by local Congressmen, Senators and governors from both parties, from both Maine and New Hampshire. Some are in tough re-election races, but portrayed the event as non-partisan.

I despise Lieberman more than most due to previous campaigns where I’ve had to deal with his miserable staffers, but it only undermines Lamont’s credibility to have his supporters cry wolf at the sight of every prairie dog. Let’s stick to the real issues - there are enough we don’t really need to make any up.
