When Is It Okay For A Progressive To Own Halliburton Stock?
When he’s running against Joe Lieberman, silly:
Defending himself against attack ads from U.S. Sen. Joe Lieberman, Ned Lamont admitted he does hold some stock in Halliburton.”I’ve got a mutual fund that I have no control of and it has a little bit of Halliburton stock,” Lamont told the Connecticut Post editorial board Monday.
Well, after all, we don’t always keep up with our mutual fund holdings…it was a mutual fund, right, Ned? Oops:
Lamont said earlier this month that the stock was part of a mutual fund, but his campaign later corrected the statement and said it was part of a managed stock account.
Hmmm…have you ever owned shares in a stock (not a trust, not a mutual fund, but a stock) that you didn’t know about? Why, you’d almost think Lamont was…lying…
But hey, he’s not Joe Lieberman, that’s all that matters, right? Who gives a damn if he doesn’t know the difference between Hezbollah and Hamas? It’s not like he’s trying to be a Senator, or anything…
Oh, wait…
Did you graduate from Phillips Exeter Academy? Ned Lamont did.
Did you do anything to get America wired for Cable TV? Ned Lamont did.
Have you served on many civic advisory boards? Ned Lamont has.
I know Ned Lamont. Ned Lamont is a friend of mine. You, sir, are no Ned Lamont.
And you, sir, are no Nellison…well done…
