"They're so blind in their hatred of Joe Lieberman that they have to make even the most trivial, silly things an issue."

Breathe, buddy, breathe ...

"I've already gotten three calls about this. It just shows how tone deaf people are. Why aren't they calling about Lamont's flip-flop on earmarks? Why isn't that an issue?"

OK, now he was making me tense.

"This is a camp that mocks Joseph Lieberman's wife and kids and we make one honest mistake that we own up to and they jump all over it. I can send you documents that show how much more negative they are than us, how they continue to resort to these kinds of tactics. ... It's not even a close call."

I thought we were all going to relax and get away from the negativity here. Remember the soothing sounds of the waves, the female announcer's dreamy voice: "Joe Lieberman thought you might enjoy a break from Ned Lamont's negative attacks," she cooed. "So, just sit back and think about - good stuff."

...Gerstein said they were going to continue to use the ad.

"Of course we will," he said. "Why in God's name wouldn't we, just because Ned Lamont's people reflectively attack us? That's just insane."
