When Joe Lieberman stood before an Exxon pump at a Spartanburg, S.C., gas station Wednesday, the point was to decry the spike in gasoline prices.
Problem is, that morning, owner Junie White had just lowered the price of unleaded regular by 3 cents, to $1.49.9.
That didn't stop the Connecticut Democrat, who drove up in a Mercury Grand Marquis, from telling a bevy of TV cameras and local reporters that "I find it suspicious that prices are jumping so dramatically just before one of the busiest driving weekends of the year."
White said that prices had been going up; it was just coincidence that they went down hours before the Lieberman visit.
