From a Tuesday Wall Street Journal editorial on Lisa Murkowski running as an independent for Senate in Alaska: "Joe Lieberman ran as an independent after losing the Connecticut primary in 2006, though he had every reason to believe he could win against antiwar Greenwich millionaire Ned Lamont."
Is it just me or is the Wall Street Journal editorial column now using "Greenwich millionaire" as a pejorative? No one was cheering Mr. Lieberman on against Mr. Lamont more than I was, but in fairness, Mr. Lieberman's personal financial disclosure forms for 2008 put his family assets at between $935,081 and $3,176,000, meaning that it is quite likely that he is a millionaire, too, if less rich than Mr. Lamont. But the Journal only uses the millionaire language to refer to the candidate it dislikes.
