#2 Asked how he would beat primary rivals with more experience on foreign policy, Dean said he would keep reminding Democrats that he was the only major candidate who opposed the Iraq war, despite polls showing the vast majority of the American public supporting the invasion at the time.

"The bottom line is, what kind of foreign policy experience do you want in Washington, in the White House?" he said. "Do you want the kind of foreign policy experience that was willing to vote for the Iraq war, or not?"

Um, Mr. Dean - ANSWER THE F*CKING QUESTION!!!

Asshat...

#3 I keep waiting for Dr. Dean to begin his movement toward the center- but he ain't doing it.

Somehow I can't reconcile this:

Dean said he would keep reminding Democrats that he was the only major candidate who opposed the Iraq war, despite polls showing the vast majority of the American public supporting the invasion at the time.

with this:

"Do you want the kind of foreign policy experience that was willing to vote for the Iraq war, or not?"

given the continuing public support for the war, especially after Saddam's capture.

What the hell is this clown trying to do, give Bush a 50-state landslide next year????

#5 So Iâm sure that is the correct sentiment of most Americans

Unbelievable. This guy is nuts, he goes to 'meet ups' with other leftwing nuts, and they all reinforce eachother with their insanity. This idiot has no idea how Middle America feels, and in any case, he tunes out what he doesn't want to hear.

If this jackass somehow did become president, every city in the U.S. would be just like Tel Aviv and we'd be going to prayer 5 times a day.

Just keep talking, howie, you're digging deeper.

From your keyboard to God's ear.

#7 I like Howard's comments, I can't even make shit up to make them look dumber lol

#8 Karl Rove, wherever you are, have another glass of champagne and send Fred the bill. This is like watching a guy throw a hanging curve ball to Hank Aaron.

"I still have this old-fashioned notion that even with people like Osama, who is very likely to be found guilty, we should do our best not to, in positions of executive power, not to prejudge jury trials."

What exactly is the good doctor saying here? He seems to be saying that OBL, if he's not in hell, is entitled to all the protections afforded American citizens by our legal system. But if that's what he means, then to be consistent, he's got to take it further and say that OBL is presumed innocent, just like any citizen.

Go ahead, Dr. Dean, make my day: tell the world that Osama is presumed innocent.

#9 OBL is innocent because the Deanuts all think Dubya/Big OilÂ©/the Knights Templar really were behind 9/11.

#10 "From your keyboard to God's ear."

Yeah, but I'm not too comfortable with Dean's iridescent idiocy making a blowout election inevitable: if the mental image of a shotgun-toting Karl Rove grinning broadly as he stands over a barrel of fish gains too much currency among the Democratic Party leadership, they might ditch Howlin' Howard and trot out Hillary instead. And then we've got a serious fight on our hands.

#11 Which might explain why Rove et al. have been doing so little counterpunching.

#13 SSSSsssshhhhhh

#14 Uggghh..this idiot is to much. He's going to get wiped out (if anyone is paying attention).
I may be looking ahead too much but '08 is what I'm worried about.

#15 Frank G:

I kinda gave up on DailyPundit; too little of Bill Quick anymore, too much of YGB and TF. I still check in there daily, but seldom comment.

#16 The really, really, really good thing about Dean is that the hard core Demo's think he actually has a chance. My New Year's Prayer: "Please, God...don't burst Demo-Dean bubble."

#17 Whadda dummy....he had the photo-op of a lifetime, and the chance to even the polls....all he had to do was quote the Old Cowboy and say, "Oh, he'll get a fair trial alright, first we'll try him fair, then we'll hang him fair."

No imagination, that Dean...whatta dumkopf.

#18 Dave - I've gotta agree on all 3 points: BQ is distracted with real life, YGB and TF need to get one

#19 glad to see you here though :-)

#20 Aside from the fact that this reveals what a little asshelmet Coward Dean is and that should he be the Dim candidate that Bush will beat him like a red-headed stepchild, there is the reality of Clintoon's 8-year reign of terror and the reason he wouldn't go after OBL, even though he had about 12 opportunities: Clinton, ever the legal man, would hold off grabbing Osama or hitting him back because there "wasn't sufficient proof that would hold up in a court of law."

#21 Uh... Frank? TF doesn't need "a life"; he needs Thorazine. Lots of it. :)

#22 Dave, too funny!
Both he and YGB would benefit from a rigorous course of electroshock therapy to be followed by a cold can of Spud beer.
Whoa, Spud!
