Dean digs Dems a hole

To paraphrase Mark Twain: Suppose you're an imbecile. Now suppose you're Howard Dean. Oops, I repeat myself.

Dean, the Democratic Party boss with the say-anything habit, has outdone himself with his newest foray into fantasy. As usual, his idea is wrapped in false packaging and sealed with slimy innuendo. Here are a few of the whoppers he recently let loose on San Antonio, Tex., radio station WOAI:

# The "idea that we're going to win the war in Iraq is an idea which is just plain wrong."

# "This is the same situation we had in Vietnam. Everybody then kept saying, 'Just another year, just stay the course, we'll have a victory.' Well, we didn't have a victory, and this policy cost the lives of an additional 25,000 troops because we were too stubborn to recognize what was happening."

# "What we see today is very much like what was going on in Watergate. It turns out there is a lot of good evidence that President Bush did not tell the truth when he was asking Congress for the power to go to war."

Vietnam. Watergate. The kitchen sink. His M.O. is apparently to think of the worst things you can say - then say them, facts be damned. But as rancid as his false links to the past are, Dean's plan for the future is downright dangerous. -- New York Daily News  - Michael Goodwin: Dean digs Dems a hole [cont ...]
