I plucked this from the dailykos, it's an exchange between Dan Gerstein a senior Leiberman advisor and some people hanging out on Joe's blog. It just made me titter like a school girl for a few seconds.
Quote:
Let me get this straight. You are asking us to disprove an anonymous, single-sourced story from a magazine of questionable credibility that not one respectable news outlet has even come close to picking up on? What's next, you want us to provide evidence that Joe Lieberman doesn't beat his wife?
Seriously, folks, I am more than happy to answer legitimate questions raised on the blog, and I apologize for not doing more of it yet (been a little busy doing a few other things), but can we please have a little perspective? Thanks. Dan Gerstein | 09.06.06 - 8:23 pm | #
Joe Lieberman beats his wife? Mike | 09.06.06 - 8:28 pm | #
Why does Joe beat his wife? Is it because she's a pharmaceutical lobbyist? BluetooththeGreat | 09.06.06 - 8:31 pm | #
I don't know, blue... I just heard about it from Dan Gerstein himself. Mike | 09.06.06 - 8:33 pm | #
Now, we have someone who, posting as Dan Gerstein, hopefully it is and not a namestealer, wants to tell us that it is the equivalent of "when did you quit beating your wife"?
If this is as untrue, or "conspiracy theory" as you want us to believe, why even address it at all?
Either it is true, or it is not. To address it in this manner only serves to fuel the fire that Lieberman's campaign is actually hiding a significant amount of support (maybe not financial) from the RNC. David (Austin Tx) | Homepage | 09.06.06 - 8:39 pm | #

Actually, that would be great. NTodd, Blogsatz Eliterach | Homepage | 09.06.06 - 8:40 pm | #
Are you really suggesting that if Joe took money from Republicans then he also beats his wife? Because you know it's possible that he took money from Republicans and does not beat his wife. I don't know why this Dan Gerstein is making baseless accusations like that against Joe. Doesn't Joe have enough to worry about in this campaign (his voting record, his flip-flopping, his self-righteous personality) without jerks like Dan Gerstein making false accusations? winklife | 09.06.06 - 8:48 pm | #
First, Joe Lieberman does NOT beat his wife. Second, I will personally look into whether or not Joe's campaign has taken a significant amount of money from registered Republicans. I don't think so. But I can make sure. How's that for transparency? Dan Gerstein | 09.06.06 - 8:55 pm | #

Joe did not beat his wife to the lobbyist trough. My understanding is that she worked for a PR firm that represented clients with pending legislation before Congress well before Joe is being forcably retired from the Senate so that he can pursue his next career as a defense lobbyist.

And when did Joe stop beating his wife, anyway? NTodd, Blogsatz Eliterach | Homepage | 09.06.06 - 9:01 pm | #
As I've said, we will look into whether or not serious Republican contributions have been made to Joe's campaign. I don't think so. It may take a few days (I'm very busy), but we will post our findings on the blog. I promise. Dan Gerstein | 09.06.06 - 9:10 pm | #
Dan, did you really claim the story to be false despite not knowing for sure whether or not there is any truth to the claim?
wow, DANGERstein strikes again... steve | Homepage | 09.06.06 - 9:15 pm | #

We all wait with bated breath.
I also want to know if Joe has accepted any contributions from kitten-eating cyborgs. NTodd, Blogsatz Eliterach | Homepage | 09.06.06 - 9:16 pm | #
