Howard Dean- Brainiac

Lessee.....you got slapped down by members of your own party in your run for president. When you campaigned for your own candidate, you pretty much were the fourth or fifth story IF you made the news. When you'd say something, people ignored you. So what do you do if you're Howard Dean? Go after chairman of the DNC of course, so people HAVE to listen to you. And man are the Republicans loving what they're hearing:

-"You think people can work all day and then pick up their kids at child care or wherever and get home and still manage to sandwich in an eight-hour vote? Well Republicans, I guess can do that. Because a lot of them have never made an honest living in their lives."(says the guy who's mommy and daddy raised him on 5th Avenue and paid for his college/med school so that he could 'make an honest living)
-"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."(Guess he forgot about Alberto Gonzalez, Condoleeza Rice, Colin Powell, Allan Keyes, JC Watts, Clarence Thomas, etc...)
-"There is a war going on in the Middle East, and members of Hamas are soldiers in that war" (Uh, soldiers don't target innocent civilians, idiot, only terrorists do)

Seems like the man has political Tourettes syndrome. It seems like he's become the Cliff Claven of politics. He's always got to get his $.02 in, even if it makes him sound like a complete idiot. Which apparently helps the Republicans at every turn. So far fundraising is way down, as well as the desire of most true Republicans to see Dean embarrassed in any way possible. RNC chairman Ken Mehlman offered probably the best advice for Dean:

I'm not sure the best way to win support in the red states is to insult the folks who live there. I think that a better approach might be to talk about the issues you're for

I certainly hope that he doesn't take that advice to heart. Although, I doubt he can, even if he tried.
