Lieberman: Wes Clark is a "convenience" Democrat
I said a week ago that the other Democratic candidates (I mentioned Kerry and Dean) would have to turn their guns on Clark, who will come under a special kind of fire he hasn't experienced before. They have no choice, I said, and since then Clark has taken a polling lead.

But it was Joe Lieberman who fired the first volley.

. . . Joe Lieberman on Friday accused presidential rival Wesley Clark of joining the Democratic Party for ``political convenience, not conviction'' as the retired general came under increased scrutiny. ...

``I was fighting (Bush's) reckless economic strategy while Wes Clark was working to forward the Republican agenda by raising money for the Republican Party,'' the Connecticut senator said.
Democratic National Committee member Anita Freedman, who supports Dick Gephardt, predicted more "incoming" for Clark. Referring to Clark’s 2001 speeches supporting the Bush administration and criticizing the Clinton administration (link may be perishable), Freedman said,
"I think they'll nab him on all that stuff, including being a Republican. The honeymoon will soon be over for Clark.''
The retired general better put on his flak jacket, because it will come pretty quickly now. It will be interesting to see whether he will give as good as he gets.
