Lamont Ad Asks: Look Who's Talking?

CT Sen. candidate Ned Lamont will begin to air a television ad tomorrow that yokes Joe Lieberman's voice to a picture of President Bush, whose lips are digitally altered to mouth Lieberman's words.

The ad features audio of Lieberman saying that "In matters of war, we undermine the president's credibility at our nation's peril" and "We're at a point in Iraq where war is a necessity."

If it talks like George W. Bush and acts like George W. Bush, it's certainly not a Connecticut Democrat.

If Lamont wins this thing, this ad will become legendary.

BTW: the Lamont campaign clearly wants the media to notice this ad and to broadcast it widely in their news stories. Call it a video press release. But it's very provocative.
