Lieberman Says Angrily: `It Is A Lie'

The Hartford Courant reports:

Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman angrily disputed a black leader's unsubstantiated accusation Wednesday that Lieberman lied about his civil rights work in Mississippi 43 years ago.

"Now, that's really outrageous and, of course, it is a lie," Lieberman said at a hastily called press conference, where he blamed the episode on his opponent, Ned Lamont.

Lieberman must be ahead in the polls if we are hearing this sort of stuff this late in the game.
