#1 "Introduced by comedian and radio host Al Franken"

They left out the word "failed".

#2 Fordesque - they probably left "failed" out because it is still a work in progress(?)

#3 Words fail. These people live in an alternate reality where one can say anything if it somehow attacks George Bush. I suppose they are operating on the H. L. Mencken philosophy that no one ever lost money by underestimating the stupidity of the American voter.

#4 How can you be tough on defense if five years after 9/11, Osama bin Laden is still at large, the Iranians are about to get nuclear weapons, North Korea's quadrupled their nuclear weapons stash.

Solved easily enough, Howie. Nuke Wazoo, Nuke Iran, Nuke North Korea.
You up for that, Mr. Hard-Ass?

#5 If I recall, the Intifada started on Bill Clinton's watch.

Not blaming Bill for Palistinian actions, but Mr. Dean's comments are absurd.

#6 Mr. Dean's comments are absurd

Some people are reliable.

#8 This could be amusing, if the rank and file actually take Mr. Dean's suggestions seriously. My neighborhood is prime housecall territory, as it was down here that John Kerry lost Ohio -- and I've enjoyed lovely, long chats with the religious people who come by to convert me, at the end of which I generally assign homework (readings and questions to ask their religious leader, because thus far none have had the knowledge to counter my counterarguments). It could be very amusing, for me at least, to discuss the current world situation with someone who desires to convert me to his political position. ;-)

#9 I'd say shoot the idiot to put him out of his own misery, but he's the best friend the Republican party has right now. I'll go along with just about anything to keep the donks from winning one extra seat.

#10 Someone oughta rap the Guv on the head just to bring him out of his stupor.

#11 Yes, OP! But, don't tell everyone. The plan is coming together wonderfully!

#12 Well, since they're asking me to be "more involved" in the middle east, here goes:

(channeling Dean) "We're gonna bomb Beirut and Damascus and Tehran and Pyongyang and Mecca and Medina...YEEEEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHHHH!" (/channeling Dean)
