Monica Lewinsky Blasts Dean Over Clinton/DLC Remarks. [View All]

Monica Lewinsky today laid down the gauntlet to Presidential
hopeful Howard Dean for his disparaging comments about former
President Bill Clinton and the Democratic Leadership Council,
the organization Clinton founded to power him to the
White House. Dean as much as stated that Clinton was out of
touch with today's political reality and that the DLC was the
"Republican wing of the Democratic Party."

"Howard Dean is a awful little person that should go back to the
woods or whatever," Lewinsky stated in no uncertain terms as she
hurried along rainy Rodeo Drive with an umbrella and holiday
packages and a pink poodle. "Bill Clinton was the best President
that I or the nation have ever had," Lewinsky declared, "and the
DLC was a brilliant mechanism to gather moderate and swing votes
at a time that the Democratic base had shrunk to dangerous levels.
To call the DLC the Republican wing of the Democratic Party is
like calling Rousseau's followers the Republican Wing of the
French Revolution. It's not only outrageous, it borders on calumny
or something."

Lewinsky brushed off questions about running for a political office
of her own some day. "For all things, there is a season, turn, turn
turn," she said with a sly wink. Then she returned to the Dean
comments: "It just gets my goat that Mr. Governor Doctor Howard
Know-It-All can get everybody upset all the time. Bill Clinton had
the incredible knack to calm people down and feel their feelings
for them and make people think everything was all right even when it
wasn't. If Howard Dean was twice the man Bill Clinton was, I still
wouldn't go out with him." At that, Lewinsky jumped in her red 2004
Hummer and sped off into the wet Beverly Hills evening.

I'm not sure exactkly where I heard this. I have several
radios and TVS and ticker-tapes going all at once, and am
usually on the phone with several advisers and consultants
simultaneously. I believe I heard her being interviwed
and all I could do was take it down with a dull pencil on
the back of a nearby Christmas card. More likely soon from CNN,
etc.
