Great work, Sundog!!!!
Sundog - WHERE did you hear this?
Look, this last "seedfreak" post is probably more ridiculous than any other.
Why the hell would Ned Lamont be an expert on blogs?
The man is a very successful guy. He doesn't have the time or desire to mix it up on blogs, you idiot!
In fact, when Lamont started his campaign, the bloggers became interested in Lamont and approached him, not the other way around.
Sheesh.

Hey Liebertwit - at least Lamont *has* balls...
Campaign Mo'Mentos anyone?

Lying "Little Experience" Lamont
I can tell you one thing, our numbers don’t show us up 13 – and that is no spin.
Ned lost the Greenwich Time endorsement. liebermanforlieberman is painting us as anti-semites.
Jane made us look like racists.
It's not good news.
MWAHAHAAAA
I'm sick and tired for people assuming lobbyists are bad. Yes, sure Richard Goodstein is a high paid lobbyist (making $360K last year), but lobbying is good for our democracy. It gives people access to our government.
Joe Lieberman's wife Hadassah is a registered lobbyist, and Joe is one of the most principled people in government. If lobbyist were not good for our country, he wouldn't let his wife be one.
Lamont complains that there are 65 registered lobbyist per member of congress. This means people are getting lots of access our government. What is wrong with that?
If you guys are serious about the hacks, shoot me an email and I'll notify the engineers at Blogspot.

Thank you Lieberdem for the comic relief of your post. We do need a diversion from all the bad news!
Lieberdem, things do look bleak for Joe!
Did you see that he is now calling for Rumsfeld to resign. More comments like that and we'll lose our Republican base. Please Joe, stay the course.
onnecticut Heckler Has a Tricky Past
By Justin Rood - August 4, 2006, 3:40 PM
Over at TPMCafe, Greg Sargent has been trying to get to the bottom of the Connecticut Heckler kerfuffle. Who is this man, Richard F. Goodstein, who came all the way from Washington, D.C., leaving a lucrative lobby practice on hold so he could sit in a diner, munch a hamburger, and heckle progressive Democratic challenger Ned Lamont for the benefit of assembled reporters and photographers?
It turns out, this recent flap isn't the first time Goodstein's been in hot water. Way back in 1983, Goodstein -- then a lawyer for the doomed Mondale for President campaign -- "surreptitiously took" a notebook from a Philadelphia office in order to hide the nature of the campaign's scheme to use rather flimsy outside organizations to evade fundraising laws. The action was disclosed in a 1985 book and reported in the Washington Post. (The notebook was returned soon after Goodstein took it, the paper reported; the FEC discovered the ruse, and Mondale -- after losing 49 states to Ronald Reagan -- paid over $379,000 in fines.)
As Goodstein told the Washington Post (article not online) at the time of its article on the topic: "It was the middle of a campaign and the stakes were high. . . It seemed to be the thing to do at the moment."
Since the 1980s, Goodstein has worked as a lobbyist specializing in waste issues.
For many years he was a staff lobbyist for Browning Ferris Industries, a giant in the trash hauling business. In 1998, when BFI closed its Washington office, he struck out on his own. Aside from a mining concern and a fuel company, Lexmark and the two Air Products divisions have been his main clients since then.
Of course, waste-related lobbying hasn't distracted him from another major role: being a constant commentator on FOX. Nexis shows at least three dozen appearances on the network by Goodstein between 1998 and 2002. There and in other media, he has alternately been described as a Democratic "strategist," "adviser" and "lawyer."
Since 2002, Goodstein has lobbied for only a few clients: Kentucky-based technology manufacturer Lexmark, Inc.; Pennsylvania-based Air Products & Chemicals, an $8.1 billion concern which sells hydrogen, oxygen and other gases; and Pennsylvania-based Air Products Healthcare, which appears to be a division of AP&C.
Despite the short client list, Goodstein doesn't seem to hurt for cash: last year he pulled in at least $360,000 in fees from those three clients. In other words, he could certainly afford that hamburger.
Lieberdem - I would like to thank you for all of the inspiration you have provided over the past week.
Your words helped to convince me to do this. Without all of the wisdom and insight on Senator Lieberman from your contributors, this never would have happened.
I have just donated $1000 to the Lamont campaign.

Lamont faces fallout over country club membership.

It has been impossible for Ned Lamont to avoid talking about his wealth during his Democratic primary race against Sen. Joe Lieberman.
If it's not his opponent reminding voters that Lamont is a Greenwich multimillionaire or demanding he release his tax returns, it's Lamont himself when he dips into his fortune to pay for his own campaign.
Now an aspect of Lamont's lifestyle he tried to prevent from becoming an issue -- his membership in Greenwich's exclusive Round Hill Club -- is being mocked on fliers circulated around the state by the Lieberman camp.
One side of the flier touts Lieberman's "lifetime of fighting against discrimination and injustice." The other side reads: "What is Ned Lamont's Civil Rights Record?" It also reprints Lamont's explanation to The New York Times that he resigned after 16 years from the club before challenging Lieberman because it didn't have enough minority members.
"He's trying to be someone he's not," said Marion Steinfels, Lieberman's communications director. "How politically calculated is that?"
=============================
Looks like it was the hypocrasy that lost Ned his hometown endorsement.
I'd say poor Ned to be conciliatory, but I don't want to be a hypocrite too.

Sounds like Stoller is more loyal to his wallet than Lamont. What's the matter Matt? Don't have the plastic to whip out for the expenses like the rest of us do?
Better start shopping at Walmart so you can try to get by. Lamont will love it!
Maybe Stoller desperately needs a smokescreen to save face and bail out as a rat fleeing a sinking ship.
Or maybe he doesn't want to be associated with Lamont's bloggers, especially with Lamont's Jane Hamsher, Pariah of Bloggers everywhere.
Guilt by association--that's it isn't it? Matt Stoller--what a worm you are to worm out now.
That's real support! Keep it up!
I read it as EXTORTION.
Lamon'ts bloggers certainly are showing their true ilk.
Racists--Hamsher
Anti-Semites--Lie4Lie
and now Extortionists--Stoller
How nauseating it must be for the innocents who jumped on the blogging bandwagon to learn that their leaders have no sense of loyalty and are only just a band of low-class, no-class hooligans.
Sad.
Stoller to be taken to the woodshed over innocent bloggers remarks revealing--
Lamont has Stoller blogging from HQ!
Re: A Sponsorship Request (none / 0)
Matt,
I do not have paypal, so can I leave it at the Bridgeport HQ for you?
Thanks LIZZY!

This blogger finds it delightful that the word NONE follows Stoller's extorting demand for financial aid. It's so revealing of *Lamonts Blogging Lie that no one can even comment on the horror of the revelation!
*Let's not forget these now (in)famous words--"I don't know about blogs."
Sad, depressing, pathetic and oh so troublesome for Lamont, at these crucial times, to be buggered by his own bloggers!
"Of course I'm not saying that our political system should not sometimes be shaken up through the election of a new kind of leader, like Jesse Ventura in our time, or that it should not be open to the fresh perspective of someone from a entirely different profession, a person who has been successful, say, in business..."

seedfreak - thanks for spreading the word. I just contributed $250 to Stoller.
Good! That's $250 that didn't go to Ned.
Yo'da man!
