Pink Floyd and Fightin' Joe
I joined the party at 7:35 est. The only real standard time if you ask me. Apparently, Fightin' Joe Liebermen was squaring off in a debate with his opponent Ned Lamont for the chance to represent the CT Dems as a candidate for Senate on the ticket this November. Prior to putting the TV on NBC, I had put "The Wall" by Pink Floyd in the CD player. Yes, I was late to the party, but the fireworks that ensued in the final half hour were explosive...
Bullet over Blue Sky
No sooner had I hit play that I heard his voice. " Very rarely do you get a perfect bill". Joe Lieberman then explained how he helped CT by supporting the Bush Energy Bill. Yes, that Energy Bill, the one that is based on the US “going Coal” and illuminating us to the wonders of Switchgrass. I am not going to argue the fact that the man has "built up some seniority", his words not mine. 18 years is a long time. No one can dispute that he has some pull on Capitol Hill. I mean, he was on the big ticket in 2000. .....................Sorry, I vomited thinking about 2000 again. He flaunts his integrity and solemn nature to anyone who hears it, and most people over 50 certainly do. He won’t win a charisma contest, but he likes to get in the mud, finds some republicans, rehabilitates…I mean “works” with them and then makes sure their name is atop the legislation. He is a champion of quiet bi-partisanship in a land of divided yellers and screamers. HE fought ferociously and helped save the New London Sub Base. At least his PR machine would have you believe it.
But as the Dems look to strike it rich this fall, many on the fiery left side of the political spectrum feel that it is time for CT to bank on someone other then the big J-O-E.
Another Brick in the Wall
Ned Lamont is a millionaire. He has great commercials, and he thinks that the American worker can overcome anything market forces dictate. He wants stronger borders. He teaches a class at Harding high school. He was the bell of a MOveOn.org ball in D.C. last month. I like him. I'd be his gardener/pool boy if it meant a six-figure salary. The problem with him is that he is a supposed muckracker from a social order that has established and sustained his fortune that has allowed him to run. I don’t believe his convictions are as strong has his PR machine has led us to believe. His last politically held office was on a town board in Greenwich, CT a decade ago. My feelings on what the town of Greenwich reps could get me whacked by the Illuminati, so lets just say it’s a Swell place to drive through on the way to the nearest White Castle in the Fine state of New York.
Comfortably Numb
"Will you release your state and federal tax returns? ". Nice. Joe knows Ned's money probably has some crazy shit tied in. Joe is the Dwight Swroot of the national political scene. But the fact that he went after Ned’s taxes instead of his total lack of experience on every level seems short sighted.
Hey You
"I'm a bread and butter guy" Joe is big into carbs and cholesterol. Ned missed it! What a clear sign of inexperience…. ”Experience, principles, and hope”-18 years of Joe in three words. But he could have just as easily led with “ZZZz…..ZZZZZZ……ZZZZZ” Young Lust
Ned, I have never wanted my senator to “dream big dreams”. Where do you and your people come up with this crap. The world is in a crucial state of flux, I want a senator who is going to help stop the people in Hartford from killing each other with guns and provide them all with a healthcare. Like Iraq, What we need is the compassionate democratization in the state of Connecticut people!!!!
Run like Hell
Wow, that went by fast. Another classy job by mediator Joanne Nesti. In the annals of CT news anchors, she and Jerry Brooks are the Big Papi and Manny Ramirez of their craft. She’s no Veronica Corningstone, but you get what I’m saying.
Despite not seeing much of the debate, I know that I am not the only CT resident who felt that by the end this debate only made them think about sleep. These two men clearly dislike each other. Joe is clearly miffed there is even a need for a primary, but his on camera good matured sensibilities now seem disenchanting and took a hit tonight. His performance in this debate seemed more angry then in 2000……here it comes again…….ugh…. sorry. Again, another debate, and I am left feeling queasy.
I think Ned continues to go negative in the next two weeks, but is soundly defeated in August. IN the words of Homer Simpson…”Ahhhh, the Status Quo”.
Connecticut Prevails…

The President has arrived. Your best blog yet, and, like the Celtics, forces me to do a follow up. Excellent criticisms on both candidates. It's unfortunate that you can't run until 2012. I will be with you when you run, you just can't do it yet.
But when you do run...
You're gonna lose. And you're gonna lose huge. They're gonna be throwing rocks at you, and I wanna be standing next to you when they do.
This blog will get a shout out when I write my next one.
****That was a quote from Ian Cheney's favorite TV show The West Wing. It is supposed to show the bond that poltics can create and was done as fan favorite Rob Lowe was leaving the show...I assure you all that I am a heterosexual male, and under most circumstances in fact do not want other men standing next to me for any reason.
