The Mouth self-inserts a foot

Howard "The Mouth" Dean has compared Florida GOP Senate Katherine Harris to Stalin, accusing the Prime Minister of Iraq of being an anti-Semite... and then- incredibly- blamed the the Republicans and President Bush for being divisive!

Dean has been one of the most irresponsible, clownish, and over-the-top leaders of a party which has- as has been well-documented in this blog and elsewhere- opposed the current adminstration not, for the most part, by principled rebuttal of its policies, but largely through a non-stop avalanche of insults, personal attacks, and outright lies over the past six years. That strategy played no small role in the Party's defeat in 2004- and I'm happy to say that my favorite Democratic cartoon character, Howard Dean, hasn't learned his lesson.

The American people just don't go for that stuff. As long as Howard the Mouth remains around, George W. Bush still has his secret weapon.

No, Howard. It's not that President Bush has been divisive. It's been that his childish and petulent opponents have been. Keep it up. Please!
