Feds Bame Lieberman for Web Site Crash
(Associated Press Article)

WASHINGTON - Sen. Joe Lieberman's re-election campaign caused its own Web site to crash on the eve of the August 2006 Connecticut primary, federal investigators have found — not supporters of Democratic challenger Ned Lamont, whom Lieberman implied were responsible.

"In short, the server that hosted the joe2006.com Web site failed because it was overutilized and misconfigured," according to an Oct. 25, 2006, e-mail included in FBI documents obtained Wednesday by The Associated Press. "There was no evidence of (an) attack."

"Senator Lieberman's campaign team accused an awful lot of good people of breaking the law on the eve of the primary, and they did it for political purposes," Lamont told the AP in a telephone interview. "If he does the right thing, he'll stand up and say, 'I was wrong."

Lieberman had implied that Lamont supporters had hacked the site, saying on primary day: "I'm concerned that our Web site is knocked out on the day of the primary, you'd assume it wasn't any casual observer."

His campaign asked the Justice Department to investigate; Lamont's campaign denied involvement.

1. I'm not holding my breath on that apology

He's got one speed: sanctimonious.

He'll just continue to claim he was wronged, flash a hang dog look, and whine about how far left the rest of the sane world has gotten.

What a schmuck!

2. "If he does the right thing, he'll stand up and say, 'I was wrong."

:rofl:

:rofl:

I would like to bet a very substantial amount of money that Lieberman will not do the right thing.

3. I'll ice skate in Hell before that enabler apologizes for anything

I pray to the power that made me for a Democratic majority in the Senate, just to see Holy Joe neutered in public.

He makes me ill.

4. We knew that at the time because the cheap bastard

didn't pay for enough bandwidth and his cheap ass site couldn't handle the traffic.

Whinerman can eat a shit sandwich and die, for all I care.
