CT-SEN: GQ Mag Slams Lieberman In New Article

GQ magazine has just published a great inside look at the battle between Joe Lieberman and Ned Lamont, and it's chock full of detail that's less than flattering to Lieberman. Our favorite scene is this description of an interaction between the Senator and his driver:

Joe grabs his [driver's] hand and embraces him in a full-on man-clench for the cameras, as though Derosier were a faithful supporter who drove out to the mouth of the Norwalk River just because he’s eager to hear more about Joe’s support for bike trails. I turn to the young staffer next to me and say, “Wait, that’s his driver he just embraced!” She shrugs like, No shit, you idiot, that’s how this works. And she’s right. This event might as well be taking place on a soundstage. All that matters is that the manufactured support looks real on the evening news tonight and in the paper tomorrow.

Also, don't miss the cameo by DC lobbyist Richard Goodstein. Read the whole thing here.

ROFL

It goes to show how little respect Lieberman ACTUALLY has for his constituents. The local blogs are going to howl over this one.

The locals on the 6:00 news might not be too happy, either. Stuff like this makes them look like idiots.
