who in 2020 tried a socioeconomic golden-ring grab from schoolteacher to U.S. senator (!) based solely on his father's name -- and running as a Democrat in GA's special election with dad's expert advice.
Not like GA or the nation had anything at stake that mattered.
As it became obvious he couldn't possibly win and was threatening to throw the seat, and the senate, to the Republicans, Democrats everywhere called on him to drop out. Lieberman's son refused, imagining his "this fuckwad fell right under the tree!" name recognition would HELP him with Democratic voters. Didn't quite work that way. Another Lieberman to never forget.
