And the award for stupidity goes to:

Jane Hamsher at the Puffington Host. This is why the Democrats going to keep losing elections. They had a tin ear before, but now they're completely deaf.

It's kind of ironic that most of Lieberman's defenders are conservatives, when he has one of the most liberal records in the Senate. He may be liberal, but he is a vanishing breed among Democrats, a politician for whom politics stops at the water's edge. He's been honest and logical about the war on terrorism and is now being driven from the party by the radical anti-war, anti-Bush types for whom those are the only things that matter.

It's fascinating to see your opponents drive of a cliff like this. You don't know whether to cheer or try to save them.

Update: Hamsher "apologizes:"

For weeks, Senator Lieberman has attempted to woo African Americans by pretending to be someone he clearly is not. Meanwhile, his campaign has liberally distributed race-baiting fliers that have the "paid for by" Joe’s campaign disclaimer at the bottom, lying to the press about their intended recipients.

But for some reason, more questions have been asked about me, a blogger. With so much at stake this election, is the choice of images used by a mere supporter really newsworthy?

After viewing the "shamelss race-baiting flyer, I'm not impressed that it justifies putting Lieberman in blackface, but then Hamsher's blog has never impressed me much with it's thoughtfulness.
