How many "30 second rebuttals" does Lieberman get for each question? Interesting how he always demands and gets the last word.
Why has Lieberman been so rude in the debate? Lamont has looked more nervous and less polished than the old pro Lieberman. But it's Lieberman who has been rudely interrupting Lamont's answers, going over his time allotment, and demanding the last word on each question.

I'm listening to the Lieberman-Lamont debate and if I were just tuning in with no knowledge of the players I would just assume that Lieberman was a conservative Republican, if not an actual member of the Bush administration. He's behaving like an arrogant, bullying thug.
No wonder the Republicans love him so much --- the only time he gets nasty is when he's debating a Democrat. When he debated Dick Cheney he practically gave him a blow job on national TV. But then, that makes sense. He and Dick Cheney both agree that Ned Lamont "and his supporters" are a threat to the nation.
Update II: Ah, good old Keith Olbermann marvels at Lieberman looking so angry that he had to be there. How dare anyone challenge him? The post-debate chatter has been surprisingly pro-Lamont. Of course, I'm not watching Fox News. It's likely a whole different world over there.
Update III: Lieberman said Lamont is simply trying to buy the election. Funny how he knowingly ignores Lamont's growing people-powered army:
