Dangers of a Democratic Catfight

But today, in Parkersburg, W.Va., Bill Clinton made it clear he didn't agree.

"You know, I don't give a rip about all this name calling that's going on," he said.

"If a politician doesn't wanna get beat up, he shouldn't run for office," the former president said. "Let's just saddle up and have an argument. What's the matter with that?"

He didn't elaborate.
