Dean and the DLC

Singh: Today, your comment about the DLC being the Republican wing of the Democratic Party … .what does that say about Bill Clinton's presidency? About Al Gore?"

Dean: Nothing. I think the DLC has moved to the right. I acknowledge that we want the DLC on our side. Ultimately every Democrat is going to have to pull together in order to beat George Bush. But think I am entitled to have a little fun at their expense after the pounding they have given me over the last eight months.

Singh: So in that comment you weren't lumping Al Gore or Bill Clinton in with them?

Dean: No, that's all spin from the other campaigns. Al Gore and Bill Clinton I talk to frequently. I've talked to Bill Clinton twice since Al Gore's endorsement. I talk to both him and Senator Clinton frequently. I was just having a little fun at the expense of the staff of the DLC which seems to be supporting other candidates quite vigorously.
