The selection of Dean for that slot was very telling. Did they think he would not be divisive? DId they think he wouldn't be given to saying very stupid things? Nah. They wanted a Dean in that spot for one of two reasons: The powers that be regretted picking Kerry instead of Dean and thought that Dean exemplified the true beliefs of the party faithful. Or it shows how left leaning the organization is and gives the Hilliaries of the world a chance to show how moderate they are by contrast. Some think the latter is the real plan. I, for one, don't think they're that smart.<g> Dean's comments about the hotel staff are illustrative of the paternalistic, rather insulting foundations of the extreme left agenda: "we know better what's good for you and we'll take care of you." That sentiment is always lurking just below the surface.
