Lamont-Lieberman

Atrios has the latest on the Lamont-Lieberman situation.

From the article we see how Lieberman's people lie almost reflexively, just like the administration they support:

Lamont had publicly promised for weeks to accept any invitation to debate, but the Lieberman campaign issued a press release Friday afternoon asking, "Will Ned agree to a debate and answer questions on issues that matter to real voters?"

Swan said the press release was cheap posturing, since Lamont had accepted Channel 30's invitation on Wednesday.

Two days after Lamont agreed to the debate, Lieberman implies he hadn't.

As we inch closer to the November midterms, I think it's sad to see that the Bush(nev) team is slowly picking up the pieces of the last few months, getting the propaganda team rolling again, and putting the Republican/media consensus back together, while the name-brand Democrats (Lieberman, Schumer) are lying, calling half of its base crazy, and basically telling anybody who disagrees with them to go find themselves a new party. They've had all the momentum in the world for quite a few months now, and it makes me sad to see that they're almost trying to give it all away.
