How long ago was that Lamont thing? Seems like a way to just paint Lieberman as petty, when special interests likely have more to do with it.

‘That Lamont thing’ was a serious effort to displace Lieberman, and had the effect that he had to run as an Independent, not a Democrat. It wouldn’t be petty at all for Lieberman to still feel massive resentment over it.

It would be petty for it to result in grandstanding behaviour, constantly jerking the Dems around, and general dickishness, and a lot of people see that resentment as the best explanation for the pattern of behaviour.
