Good post. There are actually folks on this website contemplating voting for Dean. Of course, this probably isn't enough to dissuade them of that notion, they are after all, very "principled".

[billorites]

he became a Congregationalist "because I had a big fight with a local Episcopal church about 25 years ago over a bike path."

Somehow, as a lapsed Episcopalian, I should take offence at that remark.

But I cannot.

I'd like to, but I cannot.

BTW, my bike path and I will be exchanging marriage vows at All Saint's Episcopal in Peterborough, NH on Saturday.

Y'all come share.

Wills has nailed him.

There are actually (moral-liberal ideologues) on this website contemplating voting for Dean.

Birds of a feather. Throw them dope and sodomy and they follow their 'principles.'

Much of the same could be said of Hillary. Her canned answers to softball questions reflected the depth of sidewalk standing water. The fake laughter to more pointed questions reflected the same shallowness. When pushed she blamed the right wing. Smartest woman in the world my a$$.

George Will never fails to make accurate observations. He's one of my favorites. Thanks for the post.

Ol Georgie is in good form with this one.

Lots of his recent stuff are fluff and nonsense and I hate it when he starts raving about baseball, but every now and then he whips his pen around like a scalpel. This is a keeper.

Hehehehe... I would love to see Dean's face when he reads it.

It's even simpler than that. The "principle" is nothing more than blind, seething, overwhelming hatred for George W. Bush. That many here have fallen prey to it proves even more just how shallow and just how much of a one-note candidate Dean is.

Dean's candidacy will take him as far as hatred allows.

He's dangerous and deranged. He's due for a comeuppance of great magnitude. He thinks he's riding high with the endorsements of Rev. Jackson and Al Bore.

Look for Chris Matthews to play "softball" with Dr. Deanmento --- he likes him, right xsmommy?

[plain talk]

Wow, this is an incredible read. Amyone who picks their church over a bike path disputh is a twit. The more I see the more I like. Go Dean 2004. We couldn't pick a better candidate.

"Howard Dean is no fool. He is, however, not much of a thinker. His talk flows as rapidly as a mountain brook, but is no deeper than one of those."

I would guess he has a quizical look when he takes a s**t!

Howard Dean is a spoiled and angry teenager who never grew up. Just watch - it will become very, very evident to even the most jaded liberals.

[Congressman Billybob]

Not only Howard Dean, but the usually erudite George Will missed the boat on Dean's favorite quote. The "thousand miles -- single step" was not from Lao-Tse. It was from Chairman Mao!!!! It figures that Dean would miss that. But why did Will miss it also?

The brightness of the grand. God lawyer so long as she can stick to her brief. Can't think on her feet. Bill, on the other hand, is to lazy to write a good brief, but he is very good
on his feet.

They won't get it, because they are ALL like that!

[RobbyS]

He is joking, but it is nonethless true to form. To such people a church is no different from a social club.

I would love to see her hit with quotes from her own people, like the fellow who worked with her on the health care task force. Had nothing good to say about her management style or her temperament. Also said she had no business being anywhere near the office of president.

"(He) had read much, and although he generally forgot what he read, there were left with him from his reading certain nebulous lights, begotten by other men's thinking, which enabled him to talk on most subjects. It cannot be said of him that he did much thinking for himself -- but he thought that he thought."

That is a great quote.
