Are Bloggers Getting Under the Skin of Joe Lieberman?

Hartford Courant reports:

Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman dropped his usual air of imperturbability during a drive-time radio appearance Wednesday, snapping at the host over a column criticizing the senator and backing his challenger, Ned Lamont.

Six years ago, when Lieberman last ran for re-election, his comments would have had the shelf life of an ice-cream cone. But on Thursday, they only grew louder, amplified by Internet bloggers.

No word yet on whether Senator Lieberman wants to regulate the Daily Kos out of existence sixty days before an election.
