SHARING THE DIRT

For all the talk about
Wesley Clark
staying out of

Howie Dean
. According to several sources in the

“It wasn’t just Clark, though,” says a Kerry staffer. “We know of at least two different stories that came from people currently on staff with the DNC, who fed the material to reporters.”
According to the staffer, those stories involved furthering the already mushrooming Dean controversy over his accepting speaking fees from drug companies, as well documents that revealed Dean’s deliberations as governor on healthcare issues.
“These are folks who worked for Clinton back in ‘92 and ‘96 and in the administration, who are helping their friends in the Clark camp,” says the Edwards staffer. “We know who they are, and while we’re not helping them, we’re not trying to stop them either.”
