The tab versus the neckless wonder
When people who want you destroyed, don't take their advice. The Ex, racially pure right-wing fishwrap, gives us one word for Howard Dean?
"FoolHoward Dean, chairman, Democratic National Committee
Over the weekend, Howard Dean proved that he has all the sophistication of a saltine when he told a Democratic crowd that Republicans are evil. With a little work, even Dean should be able to understand one-syllable words. Perhaps some examples will help: Car-bombing a marketplace and killing more than 100 people is evil. Disagreeing with Howard Dean about Social Security reform is not. If Democrats want a fool for a leader, that's their business, but we wouldn't trust him to shine our shoes."
Yeah, go ahead and berate the guy for lowering the level of discourse for calling Republicans "evil" with one word from a larger quote. Just don't do it right before you say you "wouldn't trust him to shine our shoes."
All this carping serves to do is convince Democrats that they picked the right guy. Why? Because Anchulz, Olin, Scaife, Murdoch and their minions have always saved their lowest gutter tactics for the pols they think had a shot at beating them. Witness Bill Clinton. Hopeless John Kerry didn't get attacked in easnest until the Swifties came around -- before them, it was just lame "waffle" jokes.
So when you see Republicans and redlining newspapers praising people like Sens. Joe Lieberman, you know that they're pushovers who can't stand up for themselves.

Now, I'm no grammarian, but isn't "evil" TWO syllables? The Examiner makes me weep pitying tears... and I've never even handled a copy. They don't distribute to the white trash in Rockville.

Yeah, you're right...righties are scared of Dean. If I am not mistaken, National Review ran a cover with Dean on it saying: "Nominate this man".
The attacks on Kerry started coming when it became clear he was the "most electable" option for the Dems. The Swifties only started after Kerry when it became clear he had a chance to run this country. Good move on their part, especially since Kerry wouldn't (and still won't) release his 180 file. It's funny how this one ad campaign influenced this election more than $40M spent my Moveon.org.
All I can say: Just get in line for another asskicking in 2008.

I have right-wing co-workers *still* obsessed with beating Kerry.
I've been trying to get over the election - you guys could give it a shot.
