Where Lamont and Bush supporters agree

The ironies of history: Al Gore and Joe Lieberman were denounced for failing to accept the results of the 2000 election. Now Joe Lieberman has lost his party’s endorsement, and he’s going to be derided by Democrats for failing to accept the results of the primary and running as an independent. Will Ned Lamont start calling him Sore Loserman?

Update 8/9 6:10 PM: Best of the Web Today’s James Taranto notes that Markos Moulitsas Zuniga of Daily Kos has called on his readers to “Let people know what a sore loser Lieberman is” and that the phrase “Sore Loserman” is all over the site. Also, Alec Oveis makes the same point as me at Tapped.
