Here's a Dean quip worthy of re-quoting:

From Jay Nordlinger's column

Interviewed by Judy Woodruff on CNN, he talked religion, and his departure from an Episcopal church over a dispute concerning a bike path: "You know what it really says? [The "it" refers to public curiosity over this bike-path affair.] It says the Republicans are talking like they're out of the Pharisees. Because if you're a Christian, you're a Christian. I don't believe it ought to matter what kind of a denomination you are. As a matter of fact, if you're a religious person, you're a religious person. I don't think it ought to matter what religion you are."

I will keep quoting: Woodruff: "Was it just over a bike path that you left the Episcopal Church?" (Even Judy Woodruff seems incredulous, doesn't she?) Dean: "Yes, as a matter of fact it was. I was fighting to have public access to the waterfront, and we were fighting very hard in the citizens group to allow the public to use it. [Notice how these people are always "fighting"?] And this particular diocese decided to join a property-rights suit [please gasp here] to close it down. I didn't think that was very public-spirited. One thing I feel about religion, you have to be very careful not to be a hypocrite if you're a religious person. It is really tough to preach one thing and do something else. And I don't think you can do that."

His English is incoherent, his reasoning shallow, his understanding weak. The amazing thing is that Democrats, and probably not a few others, consider this guy the mental superior of George W. Bush. Dean doesn't reach to Bush's knees.

ROTFLOLOLOLOL!!!!!

Why does Howard Dean converse like a young child? Good heavens, LOL!

He reminds me of a bill clinton when he's off script.

Uh-oh! Not only is John 'the F-bomb' Kerry branishing a finger gun, he's not a very good aim if he's gunning for Dean.

Good grief, so much nausea-inducing news, so little time. So the Hildebeaste is afraid of Daffy Dean, while he's mildly but not terribly offended by f-bombs, n-words and indecent personal attacks on the president, Condi and Lynne Cheney by his comic (?) supporters. Taken in conjunction with Nikita's "hey, religion is religion, what the hey?" attitude, and it's no wonder people are apprehensive about finding out where - if anywhere - he really stands on issues. Scary.
