"But beyond the dishonesty is the sheer out of touch nature of Joe Lieberman. Beyond him trying to distract attention, we have to ask ourselves - how totally out of touch with reality does someone have to be to look at the period we are in, and then air television ads telling people to kick back and just pretend everything is swell? How out of touch does a campaign have to be to look out on the crises unfolding in our country, and then, as Lieberman hack Dan Gerstein did today, spend time insisting to reporters that the image in their insulting "good stuff" ad is not a sunset but, "is actually a sunrise - it's very much a sunrise"? Is that really what the Lieberman campaign has devolved into - a campaign that is so blinded by its own desperate desire to hold onto power, that it spends its time and resources telling people to simply forget about the world we live in and focuses its media message on making sure everyone knows an image in a 30-second spot is a sunrise?"
