Lamont speaks.

Full transcript.

At least TAP didn't ask "repeated" questions about Monica Lowinsky.

The dinner, held at the Equinox restaurant, was an on-the-record meeting arranged by aides to Mr. Lamont. It came at the end of his first full day in Washington since the Aug. 8 primary, capping a 14-hour marathon of meetings with national reporters, a handful of union leaders, and top Democratic officials.

Mr. Lamont skipped the wine (''I better not,'' he said with a chuckle) and ordered a caramelized banana tart for dessert but left before it arrived. He and his aides moved to end the interview after the discussion of the Lewinsky scandal, normally an off-limits topic for Democrats.

In answering repeated questions about the scandal, Mr. Lamont noted that he had young children at the time -- his eldest, 19-year-old Emily, sat next to him during the first course but then left.
