A follow up report on Crooks and Liars* mentioned that Lieberman's  
website was hosted on a $15/month shared website account on  
MyHostCamp.com with a 10 gb/month bandwidth limit (if you try to  
access www.joe2006.com, a suspended account error is visible). If  
this is the case, this is just rank stupidity by the campaign's IT  
staff trying to save a few bucks. It's entirely possible that they  
hit their bandwidth limit and were shut off. If this is the case,  
then it's incredibly cynical to try to blame this blunder on  
machinations by Lamont's campaign...
