The Night They Shut Joementum Down
Lieberman is the name, and I served on the Senate aisle,
Very good at the game and makin' W smile.
In the spring of 2006, no challenge, well maybe a tick
By late June, my numbers they fell, it's a time I remember oh so well,
The Night They Shut Joementum Down, and the phones stopped ringing,
The Night They Shut Joementum Down, and the grassroots were singin'.
They went
Nah, Nah, Nah, Nah, Nah, Nah.
Nah, Nah, Nah, Nah, Nah, Nah, Nah, Nah, Nah.
Back with Hadassah in DC, when one day she said to me,
"Jojo, can't they see, you've got incumbency?"
Now I don't mind totin' wood, for the White House and the 'pubs in the hood.
Ya vote what they see and ya screw the rest,
But they never did mention a litmus test.
The Night They Shut Joementum Down, and the phones stopped ringing,
The Night They Shut Joementum Down, and the grassroots were singin'.
They went
Nah, Nah, Nah, Nah, Nah, Nah.
Nah, Nah, Nah, Nah, Nah, Nah, Nah, Nah, Nah.
Like the campaigns before this, I have told the crowd,
"Crisscrossin' the aisle, of that I am most proud."
I have served eighteen, I like it here, but this Ned dude wants to end my career.
I swear I'll get nasty now I'm beat,
An independent run for my former seat.
The Night They Shut Joementum Down, and the phones stopped ringing,
The Night They Shut Joementum Down, and the grassroots were singin'.
They went
Nah, Nah, Nah, Nah, Nah, Nah.
Nah, Nah, Nah, Nah, Nah, Nah, Nah, Nah, Nah.
Note to media: The voters of Connecticut shut down Joementum and we bloggers like to think we helped in some small way -- hence this song parody. This song parody is not about whatever shut down the Lieberman website down.
As someone (kos?) noted on one of our threads, temporarily losing a website on election day approaches zero impact in terms of voting. The things that impact voting -- as you all know -- are GOTV efforts and having run an effective campaign in the first place.
Please stop campaigning for Lieberman by continuing to support the ridiculous assertion that somebody hacked his sight because that leads to the inference that this somehow cost Joe his primary win. Connecticut voters preferred Lamont. Figure out why. That is the story.
