Democratic Senate Candidate Ned Lamont ripped his Connecticut opponent Joe Lieberman last week for scolding Bill Clinton over the Monica Lewinsky scandal on the Senate floor in 1998, telling The New York Times that Lieberman should have handled the matter privately.
But Lamont saw things differently at the time, writing Lieberman: "I supported your statement because Clinton's behavior was outrageous: a Democrat had to stand up and state as much, and I hoped that your statement was the beginning of the end."
Lamont is standing by his latest comments, but a Lieberman spokesman says Lamont is "so desperate to lash out that he didn't seem to care that he was completely contradicting himself."
