And they eat their own, its beautiful really.

Wesley Clark is surrounded by clintonoids. But I expect a lot of this opposition research--mostly on Howard Dean--is coming from hillary clinton. She's the only one with the clout to get this stuff out every day through the liberal media.

The New York Times has been noticeably laggard in printing all this hillary propaganda. Sometimes they do, and sometimes they don't. But the chief outlets have been the Daily News, Newsweak, Time, the Boston Globe, Reuters, AP, CNN, and the networks. The Times has been relatively neutral so far in the fight among the candidates.

Maybe this story shows a bit of anti-hillary tilt, which is interesting. Although the way this article starts, as summarized by Drudge, it seems determined to associate Lehane with Clark and Gore before it mentions clinton.

That Clark is using Clinton-Gore operatives may partly explain why he's been nastier than Dean of late.

Clark is claiming that the Republicans are the ones who have publicized his Congressional testimony from late 2002 and claims they are distorting what he said. Did the Republicans really have anything to do with that coming to light, or was it his Democrat rivals?

I have been thinking that maybe it's time to do a little opposition research on John Edwards. I'm thinking about some of those injury court cases that he did and wondering if there would be anything interesting lurking in the court records. It would be worth a look see, if there is someone in his home state.

Well, Chrissie Lehane has no scruples as we know. He has already switched sides during this Presidential election cycle, going from the Kerry campaign (where he was fired) to the Clark campaign. The mere fact that he is now working again for the Clintons speaks volumes. What will he do to help improve on Wesley Clark's character flaws?
