Invoking some powerful imagery from the devastation wrought upon New Orleans by Hurricane Katrina, this new ad portrays the other calls for help that are often lost in the day-to-day hustle and bustle. Senator Lieberman hasn't stepped up to help those who've lost their pensions or who might benefit from universal healthcare, but he has gone to bat for energy companies. Go figure!

Check out the ad on YouTube (below), or in WMV and QT formats via the official website.



Update: From the Press Release, via the official blog:

“Senator Lieberman presents an image of himself that is truly at odds with his voting record,” said Lamont Campaign Manager Tom Swan. “This reminds voters that Lieberman has helped kill universal health care, he’s voted for many trade agreements that hurt the environment and American jobs, and he’s been open to and has even supported privatizing social security.”
