Really? I accused another campaign of something it didn’t do?

Only 612 days after Joe Lieberman’s Joe2006.com web site crashed and burned, causing his campaign to claim the vicious bloggers at DailyKos.com and Ned Lamont’s campaign had hacked into poor Joe’s server and broken it, we now learn through a Freedom of Information Act request that the FBI long ago determined that his server simply crashed. It was never hacked. It was never subject to a Denial of Service attack. The server administrators had a mis-configured server on their hands. The Joomla! hacker never defaced the site.

Where’s the apology, Joe? Obviously those in the Lieberman campaign were aware of this finding a long time ago (the FBI email obtained by the AP was sent in October 2006) but details on the outcome of the investigation were never released. Seems like some political hackery was up. This information might have been useful to the voters in November 2006.

“Senator Lieberman’s campaign team accused an awful lot of good people of breaking the law on the eve of the primary, and they did it for political purposes,” Lamont told the AP in a telephone interview. “If he does the right thing, he’ll stand up and say, ‘I was wrong.”

We’ll never know how much this incident influenced the voters of Connecticut when they all got “hepped-up” on Joementum and put this idiot back in the Senate, but it certainly could come back to haunt him if he tries shacking up with McBush for the general election.
