A classic Al Sharpton quote. Vermont is practically lily white. And of course Howard Dean knows all about making America look like Vermont - or is that the other way around? Anyway, Fat Al's got a good point that Dean's politically crafty to the point that he imagines he gets away with just about anything til he gets called on it. Could Fat Al be a Karl Rove plant? You just never know... ;-)

Good point. Howie has a problem here. He shoots from the hip all over the place and when someone finally calls him on it, he blows his top, like he did with that voter at that one "town hall" meeting in Iowa recently (basically telling him to sit down and shut up). Dean either has incredibly thin skin or hates being confronted with unpleasant truths, or both. Not the kind of qualities one would want in a national leader with access to the launch codes.
