| Dean: oops, that’s not what I meant... |
| 2003-12-27 |
| From yesterday... New Hampshire’s Concord Monitor reported that Dean said he would not state his preference on a punishment for bin Laden before the al Qaeda leader was captured and put before a jury...Dean added he is certain most Americans agree with that sentiment. Later, Dean released a statement clarifying, "I share the outrage of all Americans. Osama bin Laden has admitted that he is responsible for killing 3,000 Americans as well as scores of men, women and children around the world. This is the exactly the kind of case that the death penalty is meant for. "When we capture Osama bin Laden, he will be brought to justice and treated in the same manner that President Bush is recommending for Saddam Hussein." ...and the clarification. |

| #15 Dave D., Johnny Knoxville poops out more brain cells on an average day than "Dr." Dean the Snow Bunny has ever possessed. Tibor, I like Carville's take on Dean's run, "I told Steve McMahon, the media guy for Dean, who was on 'Crossfire': You have one of the three most influential presidential campaigns of my lifetime. That's the good news. The bad news is the other two are McGovern and Goldwater." |

| #14 I agree with the recent National Review cover: "Please Nominate This Man" with a particularly angry photo of Dean. As someone said on Fox News yesterday "This guy makes Michael Dukakis look tough on crime by comparison." Somewhere, Karl Rove is smiling. |

| #12 the best part is he's such an arogant ass that he'll never let media handlers get in the way of his "message". Keep talking Howie, it's too late, IMHO, for the other dwarves to stop him - Iowa's next month, and he's wayyyy leading in NH too. |

| #11 He's going to burn out the ol' tranny trying to back up that fast. And these nuts call Dubya a 'cowboy'? Sounds like howie drinks his lunch sometimes with these bizarre assertions. |

| #8 Unless Dr. Gov. Dean does a Muskie it's too late for the press to change their mind. The important thing for the Donks now is damage limitation.. tryin to save a senate seat or two. Watch for the Southron Dems. office holders to run like a bunny from Dean. |

| #7 Oh, I don't think our talking about it quietly here in the private, dimly-lit confines of Rantburg will have much effect on the Democratic Party's decision making; what I'm concerned about is if the mainstream media comes to its senses and takes a few months off from Bush-bashing to torpedoe Dean's candidacy and save "their" party, they could have a big impact and we could get [spit] Hillary instead of Dean. So much to worry about... so little time. |

| #6 Wait a minute, I thought the plan from yesterday was that we were going to be vewwy vewwy quiet about Dr. Dean's "iridescent idiocy" (great phrase) so he would get the nomination. |

| #5 Shipman- yeah, but I think the description is apt: Dean's campaign is stupid; it's reckless; it's juvenile; it's likely to have horrible consequences for the Democratic Party; and its main character is clearly a few pom-poms short of a full pep squad, if you know what I mean. |

| #4 I think Sergeant Davis could settle this whole issue, if we could get him close enough. |

| #3 Dean's entire candidacy is nothing more than a gigantic Jackass stunt. Dave D. Now that's cold |

| #2 This jerk is looking worse and worse all the time. I keep wondering, what is Dean going to shoot his mouth off about next? "Dean said he would not state his preference on a punishment for bin Laden before the al Qaeda leader was captured and put before a jury...Dean added he is certain most Americans agree with that sentiment." Oh, really???? Not this American, I can tell you; and no other American I've talked to in the last two years, either. Dean's entire candidacy is nothing more than a gigantic Jackass stunt. |
