I was a child in the 60s, too. Mostly I was really pissed off that I missed all the fun of being a hippie and going to Woodstock….

In the rest of his speech, Lieberman referred repeatedly to his work in the 1960s marching and registering voters in the South. Even this didn’t work, since most people in the semi-crowd weren’t actually alive in the the early 1960s. At a certain point during the anecdote, one of his staffers shouted out derisively ‘Where was Ned?’ Lieberman grinned and said ‘That’s a good question, where was Ned?’ While not a devastating blow, it does seem reasonable to wonder why Ned Lamont wasn’t in the South in the early 1960s registering voters like Joe Lieberman was.
Apparently, Ned’s lame excuse is that he was in elementary school….
