Though Democratic presidential front-runner Howard Dean was relatively magnanimous in his reaction to Saddam Hussein's capture yesterday, his supporters aren't taking the news nearly as well.

On Dean's Blog for America Web page, supporter "Carrie" wrote yesterday: "I can't believe this. I'm crying here. I feel that we now don't have a chance in this election."

Dean backer "Florida speaks" chimed in with this assessment:

"Iraq had nothing to do with terrorism or Al Qaida or weapons of mass destruction, so this is a pleasant PR diversion for President Bush. ... Enjoy the little honeymoon, George. You've had a bad week until now."

A third poster to Dean's blog complained: "I hope Governor Dean will underscore the fact that gloating over Saddam's capture does not change the fact that he is not OSAMA!"

Howard Dean is the Absurd Insinuator.

I hope Governor Dean will underscore the fact that gloating over Saddam's
capture does not change the fact that he is not OSAMA!"

This has already become the commiecRATs newest mantra / whine.

Sadly many on FR have chosen to do the same.

Here's one for Deans supporters.

Boy were the lefty uncivil servants pissed this morning. Those guys haven't looked worse on a Monday morning since they attended college. Their crestfallen schaudenfruede is a pleasure to behold.

Whatever is good for America is bad for the RAT party. How much more sorry can you get?

[xsmommy]

excellent, theD!

[TontoKowalski]

It pains me to have to say anything remotely complimentary about Dean, but I thought his comments (the one that I saw, anyway) yesterday were nice. He congratulated "the administration" not quite as personal and sincere as "the President" but still, it was nice.

Compared to JF'ingKerry, Dean was the soul of graciousness.

"Enjoy the little honeymoon, George. You've had a bad week until now."

Bad week? Because the DOW didn't hit 11,000?

Get real. Good jobs report. Interest rates stayed low. Inflation stayed low. And the DOW hit 10,000.

A few more bad weeks like that and the Dem candidates may all quit.
