WASHINGTON -- After Howard Dean last weekend declared Tom DeLay ought to be in jail, a longtime Democratic operative told me the party's national chairman had momentarily ripped off his muzzle but that it soon would be restored. My source erred, however, in believing that Dean ever had been muzzled. It's just that nobody has paid much attention to his rants.
Since his election as chairman of the Democratic National Committee [DNC] on Feb. 12, Dean has studiously avoided most national television exposure. But he has been talking constantly to party gatherings across the country, and his intemperate language at these outings contradicts the notion that he has been kept under control. That he will leap onto the national stage Sunday by accepting a long-pending request to appear on NBC's "Meet the Press" with Tim Russert raises concern among the Democratic political players whether he will contain himself.

This is just part of the scam. All the money the DNC is "not raising" is going to MoveOn and the other 527s, where it's much easier to use it for all sorts of illicit purposes, and where funds from questionable sources can be much more easily laundered. The DNC still gets full benefit from the money, however.
Also, this lets the Dims play up their underdog and "little guy" status. They can cry poverty and claim that the big bad evil Republicans are taking in all the "special interest money" to sell our "democracy" down the river.
Dean is being set up by Russert. Since he is supposedly a "friendly" venue, Dean will not be expecting the rabid attack he will receive. Melt down will occur, and an emergency meeting of the DNC will restore McAwful.
Little Timmy will be on his best behavior Sunday. I'm sure he's already rehearsing his DNC-prepared script of softballs, as is Dean.
LOL!
PERFECT.
Long time no see, old friend. I hope that all is well with you and yours. :-)
