Lieberman booed at state party dinner

[cal04]

Not even Obama's endorsement could spare Lieberman the embarrassment of being booed at the Connecticut Democrats' annual dinner tonight. Lieberman became Obama's mentor when Obama was sworn into the Senate in 2005. They stayed close at Thursday night's event, too, entering the room together and working the crowd in tandem.

It's a sad, pathetic sight seeing Lieberman scramble for respect despite his long years of incumbency against what should've been a quixotic challenge. Instead, he's facing a real foe, with real support, and a restless state media and political establishment.

Despite the camaraderie between the two, the crowd was clearly more receptive to Obama's remarks than Lieberman's speech about party unity and the potential for Democratic victories at the ballot box this fall. In fact, scattered boos greeted Lieberman when he took the podium, and he had to stop three times during his remarks to shush the crowd so he could deliver key points.

2. It's good t know that CT Dems are giving him what he deserves.

His behavior in the primaries 3 years ago was disgraceful. His behavior since is even worse. Remember, he is Hannity's favorie Senator.
