#1 In other news, Saddam Hussein said that the war with Iran, the Invasion of Kuwait, the gassing of the Kurds, the efforts to procure and produce WMDs, and the establishment of a brutal authoritarian dictatorship were "taken out of context."

He also offered to apologize for anything the court wants him to apologize for, if it means that they won't hang him.

#2 Not "taken out of context." But "taken a little out of context"

#3 We are for the troops and we are going to support the troops.

"'Cause we'll catch hell if we spit on them like we want to..."

#4 Dean said, "They kind of cherry-picked that one the same way the president cherry-picked the intelligence going into Iraq."

Dean's really into cherry-picking ... is he a gynecologist?

#5 Asked Thursday to defend his statement in the Texas radio interview, Dean said: "It was a little out of context. ... We can only win if we change our strategy dramatically. ...

"The idea that we're going to win this war is an ideal that unfortunately is just plain wrong,"

"Out of context"? Sounds like a pile of crap to me.

#6 Yeah, I meant to say "We don't want us to win in Iraq". Thanks for the opportunity to clarify that.

#8 House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., embraced Murtha's position Wednesday.

AFTER the Presidents speech Pelosi said...
"We should follow the lead of Congressman John Murtha..."
But of course there is that little vote thingy...403-3...Sorry Nancy...you wern't even one of the 3.

And the President has a credibility problem?

#9 Howard Dean has his Ahmadhinejad moment. He says something dangerous, undeniable, memorable and quotable. What part of "just plain wrong" don't we understand, doctor?

#10 I wonder how well Dean expressed himself as a doctor. "Dude, when I told you you had two weeks to live, I didn't exactly mean you had two weeks to live. You took that one little remark out of context. You're really doing quite well, for a guy on death's door, I mean. Aaarrrgh!"

#11 I do not take anything out of context. I never worked an honest day in my life. I have nothing better to do than listen to dean natter natter.

#13 Dean can cram his defeatist attitude where the sun don't shine. WITH WALNUTS!

#14 Has anyone ever seen Dean and Bagdad Bob at the same place at the same time? Ever?

Explains a lot.

#16 Some how the word "context" just doesn't seem to apply to anybody as far out-there as Dr Dean.

context - dean
dean - context
scream - dean
scream - context

no ... doesn't work.

#17 Nothing says "I support you" quite like "You're doomed; you're all gonna die." That's good support, Doc.

Nimrod.

#18 Tape recorded statements are a bitch, arent they, Hard as hell to say"I didn't say that" when it's recorded.

#19 With nut cases like screamer Dean and Hillary as elected "representatives of the people," it is really no wonder the rest of the world thinks were a bit off.
