Nedrenaline!

Fresh off an ad campaign depicting Lamont as a Republican, Lieberman is now attacking him for wanting to be too much of a partisan Democrat. Hilarious.

"I've been really fed up by the rigid partisanship in Washington, not just about the war," Lieberman told reporters later. Of Lamont, he said, "Part of his attacks on me are that I haven't been partisan enough, haven't been a polarizer enough."

He denied that his attack on partisanship was an unwise message for a candidate intent on winning a Democratic primary. Only 5 percent of Democrats in Connecticut gave Bush a high approval rating this month.

"I'm telling the truth," Lieberman said. "Whether it's risky or not, I don't know. My obligation is to tell the truth to the American people."

Lamont said Lieberman's comments were surprising, considering that Lieberman previously has attacked him as being too cozy with Republicans while Lamont was a local official in Greenwich.

"He's got to be making up his mind. Half the time he accuses me of being too bipartisan when I'm on the board of selectmen in Greenwich. And the other half, it's this accusation," Lamont said.
