DLC=the Republican wing of the democratic Party?

Howie took a swipe Monday at some moderate democratic Party leaders, calling them the "Republican wing of the democratic Party."

The democratic Leadership Council was founded in 1985 by Bill Clinton, Al Gore and Missouri Rep. Richard A. Gephardt, among others, to remake the democratic Party in a more centrist, competitive mold.

Wow, this after having to spend a week trying to explain his other Clinton statements? If dean knows what's good for himself - he better be careful where he's driving and watch what park he steps foot in

PS - Sorry, it's another Dean story - but hey, blame the press - it's about the only thing they are printing.

Nevermind - I guess the spin is that he was "joking".

I guess Lieberman didn't take it as a joke.

Lieberman responded: "He's a candidate for president of the United States, he's a candidate for commander in chief of the armed forces. This is just one of a series of what I would call impulsive, ill-advised and sometimes irresponsible statements Howard Dean has made.

"I love to joke, but people can tell when I'm joking," Lieberman said.

The DLC wasn't amused, either.

"It's a cheap shot not just at us, but at former DLC chairmen like Bill Clinton, Dick Gephardt, and Joe Lieberman, along with hundreds of hard-working Democratic elected officials around the country who are part of our movement," a statement on the council's Web site said Tuesday. "It also illustrates why we've worried about Dean's loose-lipped approach all along."
