Gillespie saying he's astounded is RIPPING Dean?

But the trouble is, by suppressing that kind of information, you lead to those kinds of theories, whether they have any truth to them or not."

I have heard lots of interesting theories about why Dean has suppressed almost 200 boxes of records for 10 years in Vermont.

Oh the hippo crazy of it all!!!!

Dang. I hope this doesn't hurt Dean's chances of winning the RAT nomination. I better send him some money.

[Dean]"But the trouble is, by suppressing that kind of information, you lead to those kinds of theories, whether they have any truth to them or not."

Only in the mind of someone who was paranoid to begin with.

Dean is going to come under heavy attack. His promise to repeal ALL of the Bush tax cuts is what's gonna get him, sooner or later

There has been actually been some pretty good analysis on the whole Dean phenomena over on DU.

a caller asked Dean why he thought President Bush didn't want to turn over his top secret daily briefing summary from the CIA to the independent commission investigating the 9/11 attacks

Hmm, maybe it's because there's information in there that might clue the terrorists in on how some of our intelligence officers are gathering information, which would help them thwart those efforts?

Not that any of that matters to Dean or his supporters.

I think accusing Bush of knowing about the attacks in advance is absolutely rediculous. Bush might be a big government proponent like the Democrats, but I have no doubt that he is a good man with character and honor. I'm not voting for him this time because of his domestic spending boondoggle. However, if the libertarians start accusing him of this "knowing about 9/11 in advance" horsepuckey, then they will lose my vote, too. You have to draw the line somewhere. You can disagree with his policies without calling him the perpetrator of the biggest crime of the century thus far. He most certainly did not know about this in advance, or he would have declared martial law to prevent it. He would have done anything to prevent it.

Gillespie seems like a nice guy but somewhat of a whitebread weinie. The reps need a powerhouse speaker who can rip new ones when necessary.
