White Noise Insanity

Remember during the Connecticut primary election day when Joe Lieberman was running around like a two year old holding his crotch like he had to pee and saying, "Ned Lamont is so mean! His campaign hacked my website and it's down! Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"? Well, it's official now that Ned Lamont's campaign did not do what they lying sack of crap said and what did happen was Lieberman's site crashed from too many people going to it:

From the Stanford Advocate:

Lamont camp cleared in hacking of Lieberman Web site

The U.S. attorney's office and state attorney general have cleared former U.S. Senate candidate Ned Lamont and his supporters of any role in the crash of U.S. Sen. Joseph Lieberman's campaign Web site hours before last summer's Democratic primary.

"The investigation has revealed no evidence the problems the Web site experienced were the result of criminal conduct," said Tom Carson, spokesman for U.S. Attorney Kevin O'Connor.

State Attorney General Richard Blumenthal confirmed the joint investigation "found no evidence of tampering or sabotage warranting civil action by my office." Both men declined to provide additional information, such as what might have happened to the site.

Calls to Lieberman went unanswered yesterday.

Lieberman's site, www.joe2006.com, failed the afternoon before the Aug. 8 primary, which he lost to Lamont. Lieberman won a fourth term in November's general election as a petition candidate.

Dan Geary, who developed Lieberman's site, had classified the problem as a denial-of-service attack, which is characterized by attempts to prevent access to a site by overwhelming it.

The Web site crash received media scrutiny, fueled by comments from Lieberman and his staff who implied it had been hacked by Lamont's supporters.

A Lieberman campaign spokeswoman, Marion Steinfels, had called it a "coordinated effort to wreck our Web site and make us incapable of communicating with each other and our voters."

Visitors who tried to access Lieberman's site received a message calling on Lamont to "make an unqualified statement denouncing this kind of dirty campaign trick and to demand whoever is responsible to cease and desist immediately."

Lamont's campaign denied any involvement, and staff posted a link to a duplicate or "cache" version of Lieberman's site on Lamont's blog.

Tom Swan, Lamont's campaign manager, and George Jepsen, his campaign chairman, were not surprised by the findings of the probe.

"It's a shame that they chose to waste public investigation resources for what they knew was a bogus charge," Swan said.

Jepsen said he did not believe the Lieberman campaign's attempts to link Lamont to the crashed Web site had an effect on the general election.

"I think it was just a tiny blip on a very large radar screen," Jepsen said. "It just shows when people get in the middle of a campaign, anything that goes wrong they assume is deliberate sabotage by the other side."

We already knew that Ned Lamont's staff did not do this to Lieberman and it still urks me that Lieberman resorted to right wing election garbage during this very important race. He lost it in the end, though. The democrats of his state and Lamont supporters voted his ass off the ticket. Of course, we all know the rest. Lieberman continued to be the republican he is and decided to run as an independent thus winning the actual election in November in the end. It's too bad too that he won. He's not very trustworthy and watching him the day of the primary in Connecticut and the tricks he was trying to play was disgusting. Shame on the people of Connecticut for electing this man anyways!!!
