> When? Where?
His father drove a bakery wagon during Prohibition, and sometime after its repeal
opened a liquor store.
Presumably it was in Stamford, Connecticut, where Joe Lieberman grew up...Stamford is
a 'bedroom community' of NYC, the largest
city of Connecticut's 'gold coast' of western Fairfield County...
> And just how big was this liquor store?
As far as I know, just your regular neighborhood package store...
> And, what kind of liquor did he sell? Legal? Illegal?
Legal. It was after Prohibition was repealed.
> And from whom did he buy the liquor? Meyer Lansky?
> Bugsy Siegel? The Kennedy's Moe Dalitz? The Annenbergs?
> The Bronfman's?
Presumably he availed himself of the same wholesalers as every other package store
owner did...
> And where was this liquor made? Tennessee? Canada? bathtubs?
He ran a package store. Which means he sold all manner of liquor...beer, wine (of
all sorts), whiskeys (Bourbon and Scotch,
presumably from whatever distillers worldwide that were available), gins, vodkas,
brandies, etc.
> And were the appropriate taxes paid on this liquor?
Connecticut has always had very strict laws in regards to awarding a license to sell
liquor -- including being very vigilant in
collecting any taxes due...
> And how much money did Lieberman's daddy make selling liquor?
Obviously enough to send young Joe to Yale...
> It seems to be a rather curious family background for someone so "moral"
> as Joseph Lieberman.
What is immoral in selling liquor?
> The Bronfman family fortune came from bootlegging booze made in
> Canada across Lake Erie into the U.S. during Prohibition. The Bronfman
> family owns Seagram's, the multinational booze purveyor.
And which has headquarters in Connecticut (or did at one time)...
