Deans an idiot. He actually is hurting kerry. Kerry is hurting kerry. Holbrook is just as pompous as perle. Perle was right on Tenet getting fired. Who do you think kerry should have as secy of state. How about mccain for that post. Karen, i am not rooting for kerry but it is far better for america if he ends up in the clinton/holbrook wing of the party, not the dean/teddy wing. It is too dangerous a time to be 100% partisan as some on this thread have become. WE should wish the next president whether bush or kerry all the luck in the world. Its in our interest. Mike

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. andrewsullivan.com
