"Is Ned Lamont the Al Qaeda candidate?"
This was the question that CNN's Nice Haircut Chuck Roberts posed this afternoon to Hotline's John Mercurio.
He followed it up with, say it with me, "... as some have said ... "
Patriotism may be the last refuge of a scoundrel but the "people are saying" weasel phrase is closing fast.

has the video.
I won't get into why Roberts' question is yellow and vomit-inducing. I'm pretty sure that's clear. However, when I called CNN / Time Warner to complain the rep I talked to said that he had not heard of the question and had not gotten any calls about it.
I am a CT resident and I both donated to and voted for Ned. Let's not let this bullshit stand, hmm? This idea has already been trumpeted by Cheney and Lieberman and I expect to hear it for the next 3 months, fulminating from underneath Sean Hannity's brow ridge.
CNN's number is 404 827 1700. It would be lovely if the got several hundred calls sticking up for Ned.
Let's get a jump on them. Think what it would have done for John Kerry. Think what it COULD do for Ned.
