Here’s an interesting bit:

Who is Dan Geary? Via Steve Gilliard, ala Justing Rood, ala Dan Gerstein, the claim comes that this is the response from Lieberman’s hosting company:

From: “Dan Geary”
Date: Tue, 8 Aug 2006 06:05:17
To:xxxxxxxx@deweysquare.com
Subject: account status – http://www.joe2006.com

Hi Marion,

This note is to confirm that the suspension of displaying the website http://www.joe2006.com: was not due to to an overdue account. Friends of Joe Lieberman is completely paid in full. The screen that showed yesterday is a default image from the server. In order to isolate where the denial of service attack was coming into the site, we disabled it as rapidly as possible. Once we were able to isolate all the site files for study we were able to add an appropriate one-page maintenance message.

Your campaign has in fact paid every invoice submitted to it within a week and a half.

Regards,

Dan Geary

Rood says he’s in Nevada and after a Google, I discover there’s a Dan Geary in Nevada that is ” policy consultant”

Link to article on Geary

Link to Geary’s Company

Why is a consultant giving us the impression that he is the actual host provider?

What is amazing is that a company like CNN hasn’t decided to dig into joe2006.com to see exactly what may be happening.

It may be a touch geeky, but does the
term /.’ed (slash dotted) mean anything to the technical people in Joe’s camp?
Haven’t we ALL hit a link to someplace
from here or Duncan’s site and seen that
they were overloaded by the heavy traffic
from a popular site?
Can these people really be that stupid?
I would say no, but then Joe is a neocon, and
they have proven to be too stupid for words,
so ther ya go.
