embarassed to be from CT
What can I say, other than Liberman makes me embarassed to be from CT the same way Bush makes me embarassed to be from the US. He certainally doesn't represent the average CT resident any more than our grand commander in cheif represents the average american.
I can only sit back and blame the blue blood republican-lite polo-with-pearls-wearing morons who must have voted for him. I also blame the lack of stateside media coverage about how he was different from Lamont. I think the majority of people who aren't Salon/Blog readers were left in a lot of confusion as to why Liberman was suddenly an independent, and why the CT Democratic party had (quite rightly) jettisoned him. Personally I view it as tricking long-time democrats into voting for him, when he does not represent the democrat ideology at all. It disgusts me that in the lead up to the election the local media in CT didn't see fit to expose him for what he is- a republican masquerading as a democrat.
His resembelence to Senator Palpatine of Star Wars fame is ironic and accurate. He'll stab the whole party in the back in order to get ahead personally. I'm definately bummed out that we're stuck with him for another 5 years.
