Disclosure: I worked for the Lamont campaign doing web design and production and some writing for the official blog (from 9/5/06 to 11/07/06).

Weekend Round-Up
- LamontBlog made a fleeting appearance on CNN's blog segment yesterday, which focused on the Lieberman-Lamont race. Ned Lamont Resource has the video (YouTube). If they show a screenshot of this post next time, it'll be like, whoa, infinity, man.
- Remember a couple of days ago, when the Pentagon loudly announced they had initiated the "largest air campaign since 2003" in Iraq? With thousands of troops? Turns out, not so much. Time reports that not a single shot was fired, nor a single insurgent leader captured. Chris Albritton at Back to Iraq has more. Complete smoke and mirrors, just like the entirety of the three-year Bush-Lieberman Iraq policy. Big rally outside Lieberman's office in Hartford this Sunday, as we enter the fourth year of this war.
- U.S. News and World Report will reportedly be publishing a piece this weekend that claims that, right after 9/11/01, Bush administration lawyers in the White House and Justice Department argued that the same executive authority that allowed warantless wiretapping inside the United States could also be used to justify warrantless physical searches of suspects inside the United States. Crooks and Liars has the video. Does Joe Lieberman support throwing out the Fourth Amendment, or does he finally think this might be worth investigating now?
- Liz Dupont-Diehl, formerly of the Citizens' Research Education Network, is the latest addition to the Lamont campaign, which she joins as Communications Director.
- Tom Gogola at the New Haven Advocate summarizes it well: "The Lamont moment has arrived."

Michael Ware on Joe Lieberman
I love this passage that Duncan highlighted from the TIME reporter that had just got back from Iraq:
"I and some other journalists had lunch with Senator Joe Lieberman the other day and we listened to him talking about Iraq. Either Senator Lieberman is so divorced from reality that he's completely lost the plot or he knows he's spinning a line. Because one of my colleagues turned to me in the middle of this lunch and said he's not talking about any country I've ever been to and yet he was talking about Iraq, the very country where we were sitting."
The more the people of Conn. know what he stands for the better off they'll be.

See Colin McEnroe on Joe and emergency contraception, and Elizabeth Hamilton on what this really means for rape victims.
