Wonkette
According to the Stamford Advocate, an FBI investigation has concluded that the notorious crash of Joe2006.com, Joe Lieberman's glorious Web site, the day before his August 2006 primary loss to actual Democrat Ned Lamont was caused by Joe Lieberman's campaign. When will Joe Lieberman apologize to Joe Lieberman for these dirty tricks?
Way back in 2006, Vinegar Joe Lieberman faced a guy named Ned Lamont in a primary runoff for his Senate seat — a primary that Lieberman lost, but then he decided to run as an Independent and Connecticut was spared the terrible loss of Joe Lieberman as its elected representative. Anyway, the day before the primary Lieberman's Web site mysteriously crashed. His campaign blamed it on a denial of service attack:
"Our Web site consultant assured us in the strongest terms possible that we had been attacked," former Lieberman campaign spokesman Dan Gerstein said in December 2006.
Ha ha funny story: it was actually that the campaign had been sending out too many emails. "According to the FBI memo, the site crashed because Lieberman officials continually exceeded a configured limit of 100 e-mails per hour the night before the primary," says the Stamford Advocate.
Once again Lieberman is the victim of flawed intelligence, the Internet is a series of tubes, the end.

I've been told that the Ned Lamont Hussein campaign Hackers of Mass Disruption who crashed his website were actually transported out of the country into Syria.
Why couldn't he have just asked Al Gore to redesign the interweb tubes for him?
Joe Lieberman's admirable ability to self-sabotage prove that he still has some Democratic blood in him.
Hmmm... crashing your opponent's computer and then making it look like it was his fault, two years later. This Ned Lamont is a crafty fellow!
Just like the Reichstag fire. Clever.
John McCain says that he will help his friend Joe and will personally chase down to the firey gates of hell, the Terrorist Cunt who clogged up Joe's Intertubes thingy.
I thought Droopy always won at the end of the cartoon.
....ohhh...he did...
The Stamford Advocate? Is that Connecticut's gay newspaper?
I have the real IT nerd report on the matter, and it says Hamas did it. FROM THEIR MY.BARACKOBAMA.COM PAGE!
@Speed Ball: As in, a Jew was responsible for it?
@jagorev: I prefer 'Judeo-Bolshevik global conspiracy', but... Yes.
Joe Lieberman just threw Joe Lieberman under the bus.
I think Joe Lieberman should totally kick Joe Lieberman's ass...
...something the Lieberman campaign could have told the FBI about 18 months ago.
Lieberman's server couldn't handle over 100 emails an hour? What was he running, IBM Selectric 2.0 Beta?
Inconceivable!
Can we put Vinegar Joe in charge of the House Energy Action Team's e-mails?
@queeraselvis: A $14.95 special from GoDaddy.com.
@JamesMichaelCurley: That sounds like something more Bruce Barclay's speed.
"Our Web site consultant assured us in the strongest terms possible that we had been attacked."
It's funny how in hindsight that sounds like douchiest, least-effective denial ever.
@queeraselvis: Right, but Barclay wouldn't crash the site watching their Spokes Bimbo commericals again, and again ...
Blame the Iranians, Sore Loserman.
Can't the good people of Connecticut have a recall election?
@queeraselvis: They could have been powering said server with Joementum. They could have run a more effective mail server off someone's old Mac Classic.
@queeraselvis: I was guessing TRS-80 myself. I mean, even my old laptop could handle well over 100 emails a minute, a fact I inadvertently demonstrated once to the discomfiture of those around me.
One more reason the terrorists will never win: that unbeatable combination of Windows and Outlook plus an 83 year-old volunteer who offered to "program" it for free.
Separated at birth? Inconceivable!
Can Joe Lieberman (I) please sue Joe Lieberman (D) for attacking Joe Lieberman's website?
