Clark Criticized for Lobbying by Lieberman
By EDWARD WYATT

Published: December 14, 2003

The director of Senator Joseph I. Lieberman's presidential campaign accused Gen. Wesley K. Clark yesterday of misleading voters by not giving full details about General Clark's work as a lobbyist in Washington after he retired from the military in 2000.

Reacting to the release of General Clark's federal financial disclosure form late Friday, Craig T. Smith, the campaign director, and Brian Hardwick, his deputy, said in a conference call that the general was "profiting from the revolving door" between the Pentagon and private business and likened his situation to that of Vice President Dick Cheney and his former employer, Halliburton.

The unusual attack, coming less than a week after former Vice President Al Gore endorsed Howard Dean's candidacy, demonstrates how intense the race has become for the eight other Democratic candidates.

Chris Lehane, a strategist for the Clark campaign, said, "We heard about this Lieberman attack more in sadness than in anger and believe Senator Lieberman should be spending more time worrying about Al Gore's assessment of his candidacy and less time worrying about records that Wes Clark made public months ago."

blah blah blah

1. revolving doors... n/t

5. Good term

[bluestateguy]

2. Oh, well that settles it: I'm switching to Lieberman now!

Gee, how convincing, :eyes:

[The Zanti Regent]

3. You're toast, Looneyman!

Looneyman should just go over to the GOP along with his pal Zell

[creativelcro]

4. ouchy!

:cry:

[AlinPA]

Lieberman sounds like a republican.

No wonder the Greens got fed up with the Democrats. (That didn't come out right, but I am so pissed about these guys attacking each other, doing Rove's work)

[Kat45]

25. Jst like when he used the term "axis of evil" in the last debate

Gee--sounding like a republican TWICE in one week. Hmmmm.

[eileen_d]

6. Oh-ho-ho... this response is PRICELESS

Chris Lehane, a strategist for the Clark campaign, said, "We heard about this Lieberman attack more in sadness than in anger and believe Senator Lieberman should be spending more time worrying about Al Gore's assessment of his candidacy and less time worrying about records that Wes Clark made public months ago."

Clark is ALL THAT and a Costco bag of CHIPS.

[Myra]

16. BURN! Good comeback by Clark's team.

...

[JNelson6563]

39. Isn't Clark's the camp that put that great

label on James Baker?? (What was that word again? The Bush family .....)

Hahaha They sure fire off the great answers. Seems to me a certain two campaigns and their candidates would be a great fit...;-)

7. Face!

"Senator Lieberman should be spending more time worrying about Al Gore's assessment of his candidacy and less time worrying about records that Wes Clark made public months ago."

That's gotta hurt.

[Cha]

9. Perfect!

lieberman will be lucky if he stays in the senate.

[John_H]

8. On Friday night, the Clark campaign released

General Clark's official financial disclosure form and five years worth of tax returns to The Associated Press and thereafter began faxing the disclosure forms to other reporters.


That's sort of the opposite of sealed records, hey Governor Dean?

[Pastiche423]

10. Nope

It is not.

[Cha]

12. Nah...Dean's released his tax records, too.

And clark's never been the Govenor of a State ..so he doesn't have to release those.

[Padraig18]

11. It's the 'loser syndrome'

Most of the campaigns that are sinking like stones are emplying it to attack front runners now, with a few exception----DK, CMB and AS.

Can't you just smell the desperation?

[Cha]

14. It's awfully sad...

[citizen snips]

13. He is trying to get back in the race.

All Lieberman is trying to do is get back into the spotlight.

[jpgpenn]

15. Liebrman is FAUX News Puke!

:puke:

[cliss]

17. Poor LIttle Joe

Lieberman. He doesn't want to go out with a whimper, he wants to go out in style.

By the way, could someone help me translate his name from German?

Lieber = love (verb), like she 'loves'; Ich liebe dich.

Man = man

If I translate his name correctly, it means 'LoverMan'. Oh, brother.

[Must_B_Free]

18. JOKE LIEBERMAN

He's his own punchline!

[Pastiche423]

19. GMFAO!

[Kellanved]

20. "(My) Dear Man"

My dear = mein Lieber; mann = man

[janx]

32. Do not go there, as they say.

Take my word for it.

[drfemoe]

21. It's about time someone said this

the general was "profiting from the revolving door" between the Pentagon and private business and likened his situation to that of Vice President Dick Cheney and his former employer, Halliburton.

[Jerseycoa]

23. Again, Lordy Lordy

Do you really think this hasn't been said and said and said?

Just when I was having a nice laugh, too. :eyes:

:dem:

[Jerseycoa]

22. Lordy Lordy

"Senator Lieberman should be spending more time worrying about Al Gore's assessment of his candidacy"

I can't help myself!!!!!!! :7 :7 :7 :7 :7 :7


:dem:

[DrBB]

24. Lieberman hoping for Veep nod from Bush

Don't think he'll get it--wrong party after all--but that doesn't stop him from trying his damnedest.

[sleipnir]

26. HA! LOL

Wouldn't be all that shocked if it actually happened. Lieberman recently stopped being a Dem in my book and he's having a lot of fun bashing good, decent candidates. I can't wait till Holy Joe drops out and the media stops covering him. The only way to win against him is just to ignore the crap he spews from time to time.

[oasis]

27. To those who felt sorry for Joe and boosted his warchest by $250,000

This is how your money is being spent.

[incapsulated]

28. Part of this has to do with New York

Clark just got $1 million at a fundraiser here in NYC. Lieberman is leading the polls here. He must feel threatened.

[WillyBrandt]

29. This fucking guy

What the hell is going through Joe Lieberman's brain? Is he just a bitter old wretch? Does he seriously think that, despite his public conceits, he is the one to carry the Clinton mantle into the future?

There is, finally, some life and enthusiasm in the Democratic party again. We've got two excellent outsiders leading the pack who both (though in varying degrees) excite the base and have the potential to expand it.

Now we've got Lieberman--who acts like some novelist's caricature of an asshole teacher he didn't like--doing what he can to piss on the show. His main appeal in New Hampshire is not to disaffected Democrats seeking enthusiasm. Nor is it to calculating Democrats who think Joe could win over wavering Republicans.

Joe is appealing directly to Republicans, via his unclear association with McCain, in order to gain ground in New Hampshire. Unable to name-drop "Gore" any more, he pretends that he's worthwhile because he plays political second fiddle to this weirdo in the opposing party.

Christ! Get back to the Senate, Joe. You've peaked.

(Oh, and it's nice to see the usual Clark haters here applauding quisling Joe. Whatever helps kindle the Clark effigies makes some of us happy.)

33. LIEBERMAN -------INSURANCE COMPANIES

Connecticut is the insurance company capitol of the U.S.


He is there for a reason, and he bobbles back and forth for a reason.

30. Poor Lieberman....

I feel even more sorry for him now....pity, pity, pity....

Nothing a long vacation wouldn't cure!

[Field Of Dreams]

31. My mother called it in 2000...

Joe Lieberman IS Snagglepuss.

[moz4prez]

35. LOL! "Exit: stage right, even!"

[Bill of Rights]

34. I think Lieberman is still a viable candidate

Of course I am not happy with this development, but if Lieberman wants to peel off voters from someone it make sense for him to go after Clark.

Lieberman has high name recognition. Uninformed Democrats will vote for him. He is viable.

[frustrated_lefty]

36. I don't think so

He's gone from being a monotone, whiney kind of guy who can't do anything on Sunday to being a monotone, whiney kind of guy who can't do anything on Sunday and has nothing else to say except negative things about the other guy.

[Spirochete]

37. Good God, Joe!

Why don't you try attacking a Republican for a change. Trust me, you'll feel better for it.

[joanski01]

38. When the heck is

Leiberman going to shut up and get out of the race? After Iowa? After New Hampshire? Does he think Republicans vote in the Democratic Primaries?
