Probably the most bothersome aspect of the whole ongoing imbroglio (beyond the further diminishment of the civic dialogue, I mean) is the fact that Zengerle uses as an example of Sirota's no-holds-barred style the fact the he once called an opponent a "No Talent Ass Clown" without telling TNR's readers that the insult was not even original. Sirota stole it directly from an insult aimed at the singer Michael Bolton by a character who unfortunately carried the same name in the cult movie classic Office Space.
The issue of insult plagiarism aside, the Connecticut race is destined to grow uglier as the day of reckoning approaches. polls indicate that the race is tight, with Lieberman leading but within the margin or error according to Rasmussen, and with a slightly more comfortable margin according to the generally more respected Quinnipiac poll. Strap yourselves in -- the run-up to the elections is going to be a bumpy ride.
