Man,
this is really the only line of attack for Lieberman against Lamont:
Ned Lamont can not only try to buy a seat from Connecticut in the U.S. Senate, he can probably buy a seat in a couple of other states if he wanted.
It's a silly argument, considering that Republican and corporate lobbyists have bought Lieberman. And Senators in lots of other states as well.
But it's really funny seeing sanctimonious Joe being a hypocrite on the issue. From Joementum's book In Praise of Public Life:
Opposition research [on candidate's personal lives] does nothing but demean our politics and defame the people who are its targets. There is nothing wrong with going after your opponent's voting record or any other evidence of negligence in his public life, but digging into his bank account, his phone records, his sexual life, and literally his garbage when these things have nothing to do with the performance of his public duties-past, present, or future-is wrong.
So is that paragraph from Lieberman's book no longer operative?
