My fellow Dems, I think we have got ourselves a winner (Molly Ivins loves Howard Dean)

FORT WORTH STAR-TELEGRAM ^ | 12/8/2003 | Molly Ivins

[Fledermaus]

Self-delusion? It borders on insanity!

[jagrmeister]

>Meanwhile, there's old Dean, causin' excitement

And he gives a "hell of a speech". The Left decides on its candidates based on superficial qualities like speech-making. By that standard, they should be trolling used car sales lots. Leadership, integrity, intelligence, values, and issues apparently aren't factored by liberals.

[GulliverSwift]

But Ivins fails to realize that just stringing together a bunch of hate-filled words is not a good speech. Dean is no rhetorician, just another left-wing shouter.

A good speaker can think on his feet. Dean almost never gets any tough questions from the media but when he does, he invariably fumbles around, hemming and hawing.

But he is nuts enough for Ivins.

[Hillarys nightmare]

"When he's not snarling like a wolf he sounds like John McCain's evil twin"

Talk about hitting the nail on the head!

[GodBlessRonaldReagan]

Oh, my...Muley's been grazing in the neighbors' hemp fields again, hasn't she?

My first thought was that she's been hitting the Sterno again...

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Whoa!!! Hold the phones we've got a troll here!!!

[ServesURight]

Your pee-brained candidate will lose in a fricking landslide bigger than Reagan's butt-kicking over Mondale!

[attiladhun2]

Which does absolutley no good anyway. If everyone quit checking that box, we would still have public funding of presidential races.

[VOA]

Every time I see him speak he stumbles over words, misplaces phrases, gets his cadence wrong.....

He also ignores questions (typical of many politicians), but he's not
good at being inobvious while dodging a question.

Radio-show host Laura Ingraham has played a clip from a Q&A at Harvard; a student
directly asks "Exactly how would the Dean Administration capture Osama bin Laden?".
Dean simply ignores the question, then launches into a diatribe about how
Dubya's administration has been incorrectly running the War on Terror.

[Chris Tucker]

Are you serious? Bush is one step below a retarded monkey when it comes to giving speeches. There have been entire books written on the stupid things he has said.

By who? Michael Moore? Al Franken? Are those the anti-American fools you have in mind?

[attiladhun2]

Dean is a bonafide banana cream pie. He sounds like he just came off a valium holiday. There is evidence he is a left-wing conspiracy theorist who beleives Bush was aware of 9/11 but did nothing so that he might capialize on the event politically. He is a Marxist-lite throughback whose brains would roll around in a piss ant's belly like a BB would in a boxcar. There may even be a sizable revolt in the Democrat party should he win the nomination. Only the extreme left want this knothead as C in C.

[dighton]

You girls are so afraid some logic might brake up your cult ...

That's break, sweetheart.

[hellinahandcart]

Nothing can brake our cult.

Now, let's go shopping and then have a pedicure..
