And my mother was 11 years old and my grandfather, who’d been a dentist for 15 or 20 years, had to go back to school to be (politically) re-educated,” said Lowell, 30. “My cousins were political prisoners. My father-in-law was a political prisoner for 15 years because, at 19, they asked him if he agreed with communism and he said, 'No,' so they sentenced him to death. That’s not the way to live.

Blackface blogger Hollywood producer and liberal blogger Jane Hamsher, who has moved to Connecticut to support Ned Lamont's challenge to Sen. Joe Lieberman in Tuesday's Democratic primary, yesterday wrote an article for HuffingtonPost.com that criticized Mr. Lieberman for being "an integral part of the GOP's bully machine for the past six years." To illustrate her contempt for the three-term incumbent, Miss Hamsher posted a photo of a smiling Mr. Lieberman with former President Bill Clinton -- retouched to portray Mr. Lieberman in blackface. "I am so sure the Congressional Black Caucus and the NAACP and the civil rights brigade will be protesting this disgusting use of blackface in political discourse," syndicated columnist Michelle Malkin wrote on her Web site (www.michellemalkin.com). "Oh, wait, never mind. Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton are campaigning against Lieberman, too." The photo was later removed from HuffingtonPost.com, without explanation.
