Well, we now know where Joe stands on the issue of dignity in a campaign. You might guess that a three-term Democratic senator wouldn't feel it's OK to stoop to such a Rovian-type sleazy campaign commercial. Guess again.

The commercial itself is a pathetic attempt to impune Ned Lamont's character and record. I watched it several times, and while I do grudgingly admire it's "Hillsman-esque" presentation, the message is just plain wrong. (I happen to know for a fact that Ned Lamont does not force-feed asbestos to babies while raising their parent's health-care costs.)
And then I noticed something else. If you watch carefully, there is a lot of subliminal positioning going on. I think that the ad people either weren't aware of it, or maybe (far-fetched) they themselves are putting in a secret little message.
Here's what I mean:



Heh-heh-heh...I'll bet you did, Joe. You and Karl.
I wonder if that's ALL you're saying, Joe?
(And thanks are due to Spazeboy for endlessly watching Tivo to find the commercial; you might be one of the few people who have ever used Tivo to actually WATCH the commercials!)

I agree. Lieberman's ad was a terrible ad. Any moral, upright person should be ashamed of themselves for creating such an ad. Heck I felt ashamed just watching Lieberman's ad, and not for Ned. Ned rocks!
BTW someone on FDL read Lieberman's book and said that he complains of *Weicker* making unfair attacks. I thought it was the other way around: Lieberman attacked Weicker. But what do I know.
No, what Lieberman wrote in his book was that it was unfair of Weicker to use votes that Joe made 17 years earlier in a negative ad.
Then, when it suits him, Joe jumps right on the mudslinging bandwagon, and pulls the same shit on Lamont. Or tries to, anyway.
