Connecticut's Joe Lieberman — a high-horse, moralizing, "family entertainment" zealot who's good at making unjustified trouble for the video-game industry — lost the Democratic primary for his Senate seat yesterday to novice challenger Ned Lamont. Lieberman plans to run as an independent, so he's not yet officially gone. But his defeat in the primary is a good start. Anybody in that area of the country know anything about Lamont's politics on media and entertainment issues? All informed feedback on that is welcome, and I'll see if I can contact somebody with the Lamont campaign who can answer some questions on the subject.
I couldn't have said it better myself. But I doubt one political defeat will be enough to quiet Liberman's dozen-year stance against video games. This is just going to give him more time on his high horse. Besides, I'm still convinced he has his eyes on the White House still. Do you think Gore could pick him a second time for a run at the big white beast?
Goodbye Joe Liberman [San Jose Mercury News]
