Lieberman Campaign Manager to be DHS Spokesbot

[Are_grits_groceries]

Joe Lieberman's 2006 primary campaign manager, Sean Smith, who accused Ned Lamont of hacking their website the day of the Connecticut primary in 2006, has been selected to be the new Administration's spokesperson at the Department of Homeland Security.

If there's any federal department that needs truth-talking more than DoJ, it's likely DHS. Its serial errors throughout the Bush Administration are an embarrassment: color-coded politically motivated terror alerts; the utter failure to prepare for and respond to the devastation of the Gulf Coast by Katrina; its continued lunacy about airline passengers, liquids and shoe-removal; its managers' racial insensitivity; its politically timed and motivated leak about the Democratic presidential candidate's far-flung family; Secretary Michael Chertoff using undocumented workers to clean his own home; cruel immigration raids across the country targetted at employees but not employers.
