That Didn't Take Long (Dean shoots himself)

Not even a week in his new job, Howard Dean has already shot himself by making a racial comment about the Republican National Committee.

Dean joked: "You think the Republican National Committee could get this many people of color in a single room? Only if they had the hotel staff in here." The flap over Dean's "hotel staff" remark isn't the first time critics say he has crossed the line on race.

Theres no mention of this on CNN.com. It's the lead video item on the politics sidebar of foxnews.com, it's nowhere on the frontpage of yahoo.com, and I watched the Today Show(gag) at 7am cst and no mention at all, although they did report the Jeff Gannon story at 7:13.

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhh................listen for the MSM................
