It didn't take long for Howard Dean, the new Democratic National Committee chairman, to show his credentials as a graduate of the Trent Lott school of racial sensitivity training.
His remarks, at a meeting with the uniformly Democratic Congressional Black Caucus, that Republicans would need the "hotel staff" if they wanted to fill a room with blacks, tell us a lot about the man. They also tell us a lot about the Democratic Party that has chosen him to lead it out of its abyss.
Dean and his party are frozen in a time warp. Their sense of the social realities of our country and the challenges confronting us haven't changed since 1965.
Surely Chairman Dean knows that our secretary of state is an African-American woman from Alabama. Or that there are now three black CEOs of Fortune 500 companies.
I wonder if he appreciates that the percentage of black households earning over $75,000 a year has more than quadrupled over the last 40 years. Or that there are now over 1 million blacks in this country with advanced degrees.

First Kerry, now Dean. I should never have given Rove that Mind Control ring. Bad Fen! Evil Fen! ;)
The fact that they passed over the extremely sharp Donna Brazil says it all for me.
Looks like Dean didn't get the memo about who is the current Secretary of State. His mind probably froze up on the word secretary, and he thinks Condi is taking dictation for Bush now.
Interesting to note where Dean would look for Blacks.
Telling, Very Telling.
All this and dean has only had the job for a week or so , of low press coverage . Just wait until he's doing 3 or 4 a day. I'm grinning ear to ear :)
"Interesting to note where Dean would look for Blacks."
Well, New Hampshire's black population is less than 3%. Its no surprise that Dean's first choice of metaphor was drawn from plantation servants. Very telling indeed.

While I agree with Ms Parker on this point, there are a lot of blacks who also need to wake up. And when they do, it will be the end of the Democratic Party.
Notice the DNC and Democrat "traitor" Party are keeping Howard Dean out of public view and off the TV Media news/talk shows. I guess what they have chosen is a "closet" Chairman of the DNC!!!
Yeah it would be great to see the dem party go they way of the Whigs.
