NUTTY STRATEGY NOTED
Bill Clinton (indirectly) disses the Daily Koslings:
Former President Bill Clinton is sticking up for U.S. Sen. Joe Lieberman and his support of the Iraq war ...
Lieberman faces a stronger-than-expected Aug. 8 primary challenge by Greenwich millionaire businessman Ned Lamont, who has criticized Lieberman for his support of the war and his perceived closeness with Republicans and President Bush.
“If we allow our differences over what to do now in Iraq to divide us instead of focusing on replacing Republicans in Congress; that’s the nuttiest strategy I ever heard in my life,” Clinton told the nonprofit cultural organization.
Clinton should read Daily Kos more often; recent posts there make the Lamont strategy seem almost sane. More from Bill:
Clinton questioned efforts of some Democrats to impose a fixed timetable for removing U.S. troops from Iraq—something Lieberman opposes.
“Why send a signal to the people that are trying to keep Iraq divided and tear it up when we’re gonna go,” he asked.
Good question.
