As If There Are No More Pressing Matters to Concern Ourselves About, Lieberman's Web Site Failure Investigated

As you may recall, on Tuesday (the Connecticut Democratic Primary day), Senator Joseph Lieberman's Web site went down for the count. Even as Ned Lamont's people rather graciously put up cached pages of Lieberman's site on his own campaign site, Joementum was already blaming bloggers for attacking his site. This issue is now under investigation.

However, as most people now know, Lieberman's campaign Web site was hosted on a bargain basement Web host server (a whole $9.95 to $15 a month deal). It's very likely it was just high traffic that took the site down. But Lieberman not only blamed bloggers, he more than simply insinuated that Lamont campaigners acted against him as well. Yes, indeedy, everyone was out to get more post-nasal drip (and my, what a Drip he is) Joementum.

Ironically, the night of the primary, the Connecticut Secretary of States's official Web site to show primary vote tabulations also went down for the count. Was this also rogue bloggers and al Qaeda-loving Dems? I think not!

If someone actually DID act to take down Lieberman's site, fine - throw the book at him (or her).

But Lieberman's actions and speech this past Tuesday told us how shallow a man he has become and how much his shallowness certainly DOES seem to mesh with today's GOP and the Bushies who have a strong and consistent pattern of taking no responsibility themselves while blaming everyone else. I am quite sure it will be found that no one really attacked Lieberman's site.

And I damn well demand an apology from Lieberman when this comes out. It will be a nice thing to have while we await Joe going down-down-down in November. We've all had more than enough of Joementum and we've also had more than enough of rigged voting machines, nasty tricky Diebold voting machine reprogramming, and the GOP under Karl Rove thinking it's cool for THEM to decide who the Democrats should run.
