okay. so in case you didn’t know, joe lieberman just lost the democratic primary for senate in connecticut. regardless of your thoughts on joementum, his campaign did something really stupid today.
so his web site, joe2006.com has been down for something like 36 hours now. joe and his campaign are saying that ned lamont’s supports, the big, bad blogosphere hacked his site. the newsmedia reported it as a deninal of service attack.
OK HOLD ON!
last night, joe’s site was reporting “account disabled, contact billing/support.” then that error message was replaced with “this domain is underconstruction.” at all times his site repsonded to http requests, and served up a page. hence, no denial of service attack.
as it turns out, joementum’s web presence depended on a third tier reseller. 74 web sites are hosted on the same ip address as jomentum. guess what? 73/74 sites were up today, including joe’s sister site, meetned.com (an anti ned lamont site). funny how that works out.
joementum’s campaign filed a report with the attorney general, has said they are considering filing reports with the election offficals because this is tantamount to voter suppression (they claim their email was down all day). yeah, ‘cept their email server was responding to connections all day long.
maybe if joementum had spent more than $15/mo on his internet this wouldn’t be an issue. but that’s giving him too much credit, i think it’s fairly obvious at this point this is all a charade in order to launch his run as an independent. shame on you, joe. the difference is this time it’s the democrats calling you sore loserman.
