Today's Hypocritical Liberal Is...

Connecticut millionaire businessman Ned Lamont, who sharply criticized the employment practices of Wal-Mart this week in his campaign to unseat Sen. Joe Lieberman in the Democrat primary. Turns out, Lamont and his family own about $31,000 in Wal-Mart stock, producing $3,500 annually in dividends to the Lamonts. In addition, Lamont set up a trust fund for one of his children with $15,000 of Wal-Mart stock, generating over $1,000 annually in dividends. I suppose he figures they might be an evil, bad company, but their money's just as green as everyone else's.
