Lieberman begins with Lie
I couldn't believe Joe Lieberman's swiftboat-style commercial against Ned Lamont on the tube the other day. It was, in fact, not to be believed.
Lieberman, the senator from Connecticut who registers Democrat and votes Republican opened his primary campaign against real Democrat Ned Lamont by telling whoppers about Lamont's record. He dug up details on Lamont's voting record, stripped them of context, and . . . well, watch the ad yourself. Whadaya think? I think the ad would make Karl Rove Barbara Bush blush.
In fact, in direct refutation of the Lieberman commercial's lies, Ned Lamont is pro-education, pro-affordable health care, and against asbestos in schools. (The Lamont campaign says that Lieberman's asbsetos lie stems from the fact that once, over 10 years ago, Lamont voted against an entire school budget with a single asbestos line item.)
Ned Lamont is also anti-stupid-war, pro-Internet-freedom and anti-blatant-lying. Lieberman isn't.
UPDATE: If you want to know what Ned Lamont believes, here's an extended interview.

According to Arthur Levitt, former head of the SEC, Lieberman scuttled his attempts to tighten accounting standards:

He may act all devout and holier-than-thou, but when it comes to defending the interests of the Enrons of this world, Joe's allegiance is all to Mammon...
