LIEBERMAN TO RUN REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THERE IS AN ELECTION
By R.J. Shulman

HARTFORD - Senator Joe Lieberman, undaunted by his stunning upset loss to newcomer Ned Lamont in the Connecticut senate Democratic primary, has announced that he is running for office. When asked for what office, Lieberman said “it doesn’t matter.” “He is just going to throw his hat in the ring,” said his wife Hadassah, “even if there is no ring.”

This lack of focus does not seem to worry Democratic Party officials. “Not to worry,” said Len Smithers, a Democratic Party spokesman, “he is so out of touch that he will have no clue when a real election will take place.” “And every last Democrat has promised not to tell him when there is one,” added Ruth Mancuso, a party leader from Waterbury.

When asked how it felt to be a man without a party, Senator Lieberman said, “just wait until the party I throw to kick off my next campaign.”
