Lieberman loves Haliburton too

[CatWoman]

Now it turns out that Lieberman was playing Mark Davis for a fool, and he himself holds Halliburton stock. It is the third largest holding, in fact, in his "Victory Fund" mutual fund (PDF of Lieberman’s 2005 Personal Finance Disclosure Statement, p. 7, line 7).

If Lieberman really believed in the "public’s right to know" as anything other than a campaign talking point, perhaps he would have mentioned his own Halliburton stock at the same time? After all, Joe Lieberman is a sitting US Senator whose pro-war votes have been so helpful to Halliburton’s stock over the years. (Davis himself simply took Joe’s word for it and wrote a follow-up piece without further investigation into Joe’s own finances, helpfully repeating Lieberman’s scripted anti-Lamont tirade without troubling himself to look any deeper. That was quite a miss.)

The fact that Lieberman’s campaign is so desperate it has to engage in this kind of tactic (and take the risk of Joe’s own holdings being uncovered) to keep the focus off his record is a sign that they are indeed in melt-down.
