not responding to that criticism at all-
The Feint:
Mr. Lieberman also responded sharply on Friday to Mr. Lamont’s assertion that Mr. Lieberman, as the ranking member of the Senate Homeland Security Committee, did not do enough to question the qualifications of Michael Brown before he was made director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
In a news conference here on Friday, Mr. Lieberman said that he had been extremely critical of the Bush administration’s handling of Hurricane Katrina.
Hmmm. So, no defense at all about Brownie's 42 minute confirmation -barely enough time to determine his creds as a horse lawyer. Then Joe turns the tables, pinning Ned with the ultimate dis: "Oh yeah? Oh YEAH? Well where were you, Mr. Clear Winner of the Democratic primary?"
Whatever will Ned do? Since he was a private citizen at the time, how can he possibly have an answer that will prove he's an involved, compassionate and capable alternative to Joe The Sudden Bush Critic?
“Where was Ned Lamont and what was he up to when this was happening?” Mr. Lieberman said.
Mr. Lamont has said that his family donated money to relief agencies and that his communications company offered to help college campuses in the Gulf Coast region.
