Democrat National Committee Chairman Howard Dean urged party members to "restrain their joy" during nationwide celebrations of the 2,000th American fatality of the Iraq war, "out of respect for the untold thousands who have been killed by our troops."
"These American military dead are not just names on a list," Mr. Dean said. "Behind many of those names we can feel the loss of the grieving families of Arab freedom fighters who mourn their dearly-departed insurgents."
In an email to Democrat party members, Mr. Dean suggested that local celebrations of the grim milestone include "a moment of non-sectarian silence before the champagne corks start popping."
At the end of his note, the DNC chief added, "P.S. -- I hope the 2000 celebration helps us all to look forward eagerly to 2008."
Dean becomes more and more of a boob with each passing day. Hell, with each passing MINUTE!
And "celebrations." Guess we know now the moral backbone and graciousness of this party is officially gone.
A pox on all of them.
Aw wait a minute...this is a joke right? Doh!
I was so floored that all I could muster was "huh?" Then I saw the light, so to speak :) Good one!
Scrappleface is really good, but it says something when you are surprised to find out that it's from them. This could have been entirely true and I wouldn't have been shocked.
When we were coming up on losing our 1000th serviceman, the DUmmies had various threads by the more astute moonbat who was trying to calm everyone down and get them to not appear too jubilant. They had their death watch parties thinking it was going to immediately bring about impeachment proceedings.

It's the kind of thing I could honestly see him saying behind closed doors.

Closed doors? I would just about expect him to say it publicly. He's dumb enough. :)
Dean wouldn't know dignity if it bit him in the a*^
