Flashback, for those wondering how LieberBush won in CT:

"Ned Wins, Joe's In!" The Hartford Courant wouldn't publish a positive, smiling picture of Ned Lamont on its cover if God Himself commanded it. By Lori Price 27 Dec 2007

WHEN CONNECTICUT SENATOR Joe Lieberman (D, in August 2006) lost the Democratic primary on 8 August 2006, the state's lead newspaper, The Hartford Courant, couldn't bring themself to give Lieberman's victorious opponent, Greenwich selectman Ned Lamont (D), "his day." Their headline actually blared, "Ned Wins, Joe's In!."
The Hartford Courant is more insidious than Faux News on its worst day.

<snip>

When Joe LieberBush lost the Democratic primary - despite the Hartford Courant exerting every fiber of its being to insure that Reichwinger Joe would emerge victorious - their *actual headline* read: "Ned Wins, Joe's In!"
Additionally, they displayed *equivalent sized* photos of BOTH candidates, smiling. Prior to that day, the Courant wouldn't publish a positive, smiling picture of Ned Lamont on its cover if God Himself commanded it...

The GOP owned & operated Hartford Courant toiled to ensure a LieberBush victory in the Democratic primary and then in the 2006 'election.'

Joe Lieberman allegedly violated Connecticut election laws with a huge cash infusion - $387,000 in 'petty cash' - spent days prior to the Democratic primary. In all likelihood, that's how Connecticut voters were able to get cute little Lieberman "basset hound" postcards on election day (insert eye-roll here), explaining to them where they could "find Joe" on the ballot (Lieberman, per Connecticut election law, was listed fifth.) These postcards were likely paid for by KKKarl Rove's cronies with the grand 'petty cash' infusion. It's interesting to note that the Hartford Courant didn't see fit to publish an article on the Lamont complaint to the Federal Election Commission as a cover or lead story.

1. I sort of like what Obama did and where Joe is.
I have always tried to fight revenge on people who have done me ill as I have always felt it just bring your self down to their level. I have not always won!!! I think this puts Joe just where he belongs. Every one knows where he is so all we have to do is just watch him. A man of honor he is not and every one now has his number. Obama wins on this one. Yes, Yes, revenge is sweet but if you can show what he is so easy why take revenge? My dau. tells me this is a passive/aggressive thing with me and I do well. I am never sure I know just what she means.
