Lieberman Made To Walk “Several Blocks” Behind Dems In Labor Day Parade...

:rofl:

HARTFORD, Conn. - When prominent Connecticut Democrats marched with Senate candidate Ned Lamont in the annual Newtown Labor Day parade, one prominent Democrat wasn't with them.

Sen. Joe Lieberman was farther back in the parade lineup Monday, even farther back than the Republican candidate, Alan Schlesinger. Now an independent candidate for re-election, the three-term incumbent marched several blocks behind with a group of campaign volunteers, a gap that symbolized Lieberman's split with the party stalwarts who once supported him.

Lieberman, the Democratic nominee for vice president just six years ago, launched an independent campaign in an attempt to save his Senate seat after losing to Lamont in last month's primary.

Lamont was the Democratic candidate officially invited to march in the Newtown parade, one of the state's biggest events kicking off the traditional campaign season.

4. My snarky headline for this story:

Once again, Lieberman closer to Republicans than Democrats


"Sen. Joe Lieberman was farther back in the parade lineup Monday, even farther back than the Republican candidate, Alan Schlesinger."

Joe needs to take a long walk off a short pier (as my grandmother used to say).

8. Very serious factual error in this report

"... one prominent Democrat wasn't with them."

Joe Lieberman ceased to be a Democrat the moment he broke with the party the evening of the primary election. It was right and proper that he not march with the others.
