White House laments DNC chief's remarks
<http://abcnews.go.com/wire/Politics/ap20010205_1059.html>
WASHINGTON (AP) _ A White House spokesman fired back at the new
head of the Democratic Party for questioning the legitimacy of
President Bush's election, saying such remarks hurt efforts to build
unity in Washington. Terry McAuliffe was picked Saturday as chairman
of the Democratic National Committee. In his acceptance speech, he
said of the election: "If Katherine Harris, Jeb Bush, Jim Baker and
the U.S. Supreme Court hadn't tampered with the results, Al Gore
would be president, George Bush would be back in Austin, and John
Ashcroft would be home reading Southern Partisan magazine."
White House press secretary Ari Fleischer on Monday called the
remarks "disappointing." "I think that continuing to question the
legitimacy of an election _ I'm not certain that even the Democrats
in the Congress would share that point of view _ is not a wise way to
begin tenure," Fleischer said. McAuliffe's comments reflected
an "old Washington" mindset, he said.
Bush, in contrast, is trying to bring a new climate marked "by
principled disagreements and by civility," he said. DNC spokeswoman
Jenny Backus said McAuliffe said nothing inappropriate, and she
reiterated the party's view that Bush stole the election. "President
Bush may be disappointed by Terry's speech, but he's not nearly as
disappointed as the tens of thousands of Floridians whose votes
weren't counted in the last election," she said.
