I Did not Know That

Turns out Ned Lamont is the grand-nephew of fellow limousine socialist Corliss Lamont. The Lamont family traces its wealth through Corliss' father, and Ned's great-grandfather Thomas Lamont, President of J.P. Morgan & Co. during the Roaring Twenties.

So, when you add up Karenna Gore's marriage into the Schiff family along with Al Gore's abandonment of his erstwhile running mate, it seems like all of Wall Street has turned on poor Joe Lieberman.
