PRODI AWARD NOMINEE:

Well, we have a very quick new entry for the Prodi award, and it's <font size=4>Howard Dean. Blaming the murder of 200 innocents on the Bush administration's liberation of Iraq is a sign of serious moral derangement.<font size=3> "The president was the one who dragged our troops to Iraq, which apparently has been a factor in the death of 200 Spaniards over the weekend." Dragged? As commander-in-chief, he ordered, and he did so with the overwhelming backing of the Congress and dozens of allies.
<font size=4>
But then you have the real Dean touch: he has the phenomenal capacity to assert something obscene and then refuse to take responsibility for it.<font size=3> Remember the "interesting theory" that the president knew about 9/11 in advance? Here we go again: "Let me be clear, there is no justification for terrorism. Today I was simply repeating what those who have claimed responsibility for the bombings in Spain said was the reason they carried out that despicable act." So he's just parroting Jihadist spin, not endorsing it.

Looking back, I was simply wrong to entertain the idea that a Dean nomination would be refreshing for the country. If he were the nominee today, he would have just lost the election. And there would be no more debate.
