...Lamont has ditched the moonbat blogosphere.

Sad, isn't it?  But can you blame him?

Let's start from the top: Jane Hamsher, who writes on the blog FireDogLake and tends to be one of the most inflammatory bloggers on the left, decided she would take the time to doctor a picture of Bill Clinton and Joe Lieberman.

The result?

Nice.  Very classy.  Of course, this isn't the first time a blogger has dabbled with blackface doctoring, as black leftist nutjob Steve Gilliard did the same thing to Michael Steele.

However, Michelle Malkin, Public Enemy #1 of the moonbat wing of the blogosphere, got hold of it yesterday.  Now, within the span of 24 hours, Ned Lamont has become senile, acting as if he's never heard of a blog.  When questioned by a local reporter, Lamont said this:

{Lamont:}I don't know anything about the blogs, I'm not responsible for those, I have no comment on 'em -

{reporter} she raised money for your campaign...

{Lamont}Independent blogs, I can't say anything about it.

Now, I'll give Lamont the benefit of the doubt, and say that he "pretended" not to know anything about the Huffington Post.  However, that doesn't excuse his ignorance of knowing who Jane Hamsher is.  As Malkin notes, she has had a pretty big impact in his campaign, including chauffering him and his staff, helping to create his first videoblog, and raising money.  As of noon, FireDogLake still serves of one of the few links to "independent blogs" on his blogroll.  Ironically (or is it?), so is the Huffington Post.  And for the record, there are only 10 blogs on his blogroll.

I haven't seen much coverage, if there is any, of this on television.  There is a Washington Post article, buried inside of the paper, of course.  Do you think it would have been buried had it been a Republ.....

You know what?  Never mind.  I've said that so much while watching this primary that I'm tired of saying it.

Anyway, I'll keep my eyes open to see if this story gathers steam.
