Lamont campaign demands apology for hacking allegations

Ned Lamont's campaign officially demanded an apology from the Lieberman camp for falsely accusing Lamont supporters of hacking the Lieberman website on primary day.

Lieberman's campaign accused Lamont supporters of hacking the website with zero evidence that the website had been interfered with in any way. All they knew was that their site failed at the critical moment. That didn't stop them from filing a complaint with the FBI and issuing a press release accusing Lamont supporters of federal crimes on primary day.

Like most guys who can't keep it up, the Lieberman crew blames others.

Lieberman cited lies Lamont told about him during the primary as one reason he was staying in the race.

Well, this was a lie Lieberman told.

Lamont is owed an apology and the voters are owed an explanation of the lies Lamont told.

By the way, have you seen any polls since the primary for CT?

Thanks Phantom. It's going to be brutal. I hope the Democratic establishment realizes how destructive a Lieberman win would be.

Liebs was having a flaccid ashback, with it's accompanying dementia. Soft tissue damage if you will. Also, being Canadian I'm tempted to work a soft-wood lumber joke into this, but will refrain. In closing, Joe is a ten gallon asshat of suspicious hygiene.

Whenever a Canadian shows up here I feel an automatic need to say: "yes-I'm-American-but-I-have-common-sense"

Sorry about that soft-wood lumber ripoff--bull emulsion--misunderstanding. I could have warned you NAFTA would be a rook. One of my major disagreements with President Clinton.

Sweet burn!

But an apology would just give aid and comfort to the terrorists!
