More Debateness
- Did Lieberman really storm out of the studio early and refuse to thank Ned Lamont after the debate? If true, how small of this "principled" man. But how expected, too.
- Lots of video of the debate and post-debate TV coverage at Spazeboy.net and YouTube as well as PoliticsTV.
- The HQ has some rapid response up. Joe spouted so much crap in the debate, it will be hard to get to it all.
- Positive reaction from Reuters:
Lieberman, who announced on Monday he would run for reelection as an independent if he loses his party's August primary, appeared on the defensive for much of the debate against Democratic rival Ned Lamont, a self-financed neophyte.
- Positive reaction from John Harwood of the Wall St. Journal on MSNBC:
...You gotta say, Ned Lamont was a very polished and effective performer for somebody who lacks experience running against somebody who ran for President…
- True words: "Real Men Hold Public Forums! (not fake diner tours)"

Joe Lieberman demanded that the HUD Office of Inspector General investigate HUD Sec. Jackson’s public statements that those who criticize Bush will not get HUD contracts (which is illegal).

Jackson said he did not want that money to be used to “campaign against Bush”. Pay for play at HUD. Jackson doesn't even bother to attempt to be discreet about it!
What happened to the investigation - Karl Rove told Joe to drop it? Not even a tiny slap on the wrist, for treating HUD like a GOP campaign money slush fund?
Jackson CANNOT be allowed to get away with this scot free. He either fraudulently awarded HUD contracts, AND/or he threatened every potential contractor - suck up to Bush or I'll make sure you don't get HUD contracts. Gross fiscal mismanagement of tax dollars. Waste. Corruption. Absue of office.
HUD OIG's web site states that government employees have a LEGAL obligation to report fraud and mismanagement. Does that obligate Joe to make sure there is an investigation?
