Ned Lamont's Concession Speech

There is a video floating around of Ned Lamont's private concession speech to his staff after he lost to Joe Lieberman in the general election for US Senator in Connecticut. Lamont had previously suprised Lieberman by winning the Democratic primary election but Lieberman was still able to win the general election by running as an Independent. The video has been yanked off Youtube but I saw it and it is something else. It looked like Ned was just speaking to his staff, when he suddenly exploded into a fit of anger. I managed to jot down what he said before the video was pulled. The following may shock some people so be warned:
Joe Lieberman is what we thought he was. He's what we thought he was. We ran agianst him in the primary season. Who the hell takes the primary like it's bullshit? Bullshit! We ran agianst him in the primary, everybody ran for 3 months. Joe Lieberman is who we thought he was! That's why we ran in the damn race. Now, (hits podium microphone with hand) if you want to elect him, then elect his ass. But he is who we thought he was. And we let him off the hook!


Boy, I always knew Lamont was part of the loony left, but I never expected a tirade like this.
