Lamont Wants Apology
In the “I’m not not sure it’s the best way to show everyone that Cheney is wrong about you being a sissy” department … Ned Lamont says he wants Joe Lieberman to apologize for accusing Lamont supporters of hacking the Lieberman campaign site. (To be fair, Camp Lieberman looked pretty silly on election night with unsubstantiated claims of a Web hacking by Lamont supporters.)
"Why I became the Forward’s Editor-in-Chief"
You are surely a friend of the Forward if you’re reading this. And so it’s with excitement and awe — of all that the Forward is, was, and will be — that I introduce myself to you as the Forward’s newest editor-in-chief.
And what a time to step into the leadership of this storied Jewish institution! For 129 years, the Forward has shaped and told the American Jewish story. I’m stepping in at an intense time for Jews the world over. We urgently need the Forward’s courageous, unflinching journalism — not only as a source of reliable information, but to provide inspiration, healing and hope.
