This is too, too funny. Mostly because Democrats weren't responsible for it, otherwise I think I might characterize it as a bit over-the-top. I'm not sure, still digesting it. Apparently, joltin' Joe thought he was too lofty to participate in the final debate with Lamont and Schlesinger, and instead felt a nice evening tipping a few with his supporters at a favorite Hartford watering hole would be a good use of his time in. Instead, he wound up being quite literally sent out onto the street by a bar full of hecklers showering him with fake money and yelling and singing and taunting him with Cheney masks. Read it all hear.

Last Call's Early For Joe As Hecklers Crash Party<snip>
Instead of joining his two main opponents for the U.S. Senate - Democrat Ned Lamont and Republican Alan Schlesinger - at Quinnipiac University, Joe Lieberman opted for a relaxing night of campaigning, beer in hand, at Mayor Mike's in downtown Hartford.
It was a short stop.
It was also not very relaxing.
Lieberman lasted maybe 15 minutes before he was heckled from the restaurant by young Lyndon LaRouche supporters, who kept popping up along the bar like gophers coming out of their holes.

At first, Lieberman supporters tried to drown out the LaRouche supporters by chanting "Go Joe go!" but they were no match for the well-rehearsed young men and women who had spread themselves around the bar.
Lieberman, who ditched his beer about the same time someone changed the channel from the Senate debate to the West Virginia-Louisville football game, beat a quick path to the door just as the kid in the Dick Cheney mask appeared.
