"Well, if I were Joe and I was running as an independent, that's what I'd say, too. But that's not quite right. That is, there were almost no Democrats who agreed with his position... His position is the Bush-Cheney-Rumsfeld position." ---Bill Clinton [video]
Bill Clinton was responding to Lieberman's claim that his recent loss to Ned Lamont was due to "liberals in the party purging those with the Lieberman-Clinton position of progressiveness in domestic politics and strong national security credentials."
"Clinton said he campaigned for Lieberman because they had been friends for 35 years, and Clinton did not want the Democratic Party split over Iraq."
Nor does he want Lieberman going around blabbing about a "Lieberman-Clinton position."
