The Note: There are two new anti-Dean ads unfurling today. One — airing in Iowa at what is claimed to be more than a token buy level — by the Club for Growth, displaying its Schumerian flair for PR. Details on that spot are below, but the script belongs right here in the summary — and is sure to catch Gail Collins' eye. Courtesy of the Los Angeles Times write-up: "The ad features a husband and wife and opens with an announcer asking, 'What do you think about Howard Dean's proposal to raise your taxes by $1,900 a year?'" "The husband replies, 'Well, I think Howard Dean should take his tax-hiking, government-expanding, latte-drinking, sushi-eating, Volvo-driving, New York Times -reading … '" "The wife jumps in: 'Body-piercing, Hollywood-loving, left-wing freak show back to Vermont where it belongs." And a major candidate in the South Carolina Republican senatorial primary — Charlie Condon — is unveiling a spot today going after Dean on foreign policy.
