Lieberwhiner fires his whole staff
http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/national/1130AP_Primary_Elections.html

Lieberman said that he fired his campaign manager and spokesman, and asked for the resignations of his campaign staff.

"We did not answer, adequately answer, the distortions of my record on Iraq and my relationship with George Bush, that the Lamont campaign put out," said Lieberman, though he said he did not blame campaign workers.

8. Ha Ha...that would be funny if it wasn't true.
KKKarl is going to hook him up with the slimiest and lowest forms of campaign staffers that Loserman could ever imagine.

"Don't worry, Joe...Uncle KKKarl is going to take care of everything."

2. They were probably all quitting. Thats the impression I got from
watching his campaign manager after the loss last night.

7. What a fucking joke Holy Joe is becoming
now! Campaign staff doesn't do anything without the input and approval of their candidate, that is total bullshit to say that they didn't answer Lamont's so-called "distortions." And how can you answer "distortions" when alleged "distortions" are actually the sordid truth?

It's unbelievable to me how unprofessional, ungraceful, childish and juvenile SoreLoserman is turning out to be. What a goddamn baby.

9. I almost think his campaign is beginning to show some resemblance
to the campaign of Katherine Harris

10. The Staff has a career to think about, even if this is the end for Joe....
...I am sure not a one wants to be identified as having abandoned the Democratic Party for which they trying to win the nomination and go off on an "independent goose chase."

If they stayed on board for the "independent" road show, I am sure that would not look good on anyone's resume for future employment opportunities.

11. Lieberman has become the Kathyrn Harris of CT. Maybe he can
hire moxie and spunky to round out his staff.

"We did not adequately distort my record on Iraq and my relationship with George Bush," said Traitor Joe.

12. Joe to staff: "You can't quit; I'm firing you!"
There's a special breed of person who works on campaigns - constantly on the move, not much opportunity for putting down roots in any one area. But where they do put down "roots" is in a political party. They build up contacts over the years across the country. One thing they don't do is work for the opposition party. Lieberman is out in the cold as far as Dem campaign workers go. He will end up with GOP staffers.
