But he repeated it twice.

Do you think they would ever let Repubs get away with this, even if it was a mistake?

I kept waiting for Tim to correct him, or for him to correct himself, but he never did.

You can bet the sound bite of Dean proclaiming bin Laden was NOT responsible for 9/11 will appear in quite a few campaign commercials in the months to come. Doesn't matter a wit whether he retracts or not. You can't put the toothpaste back in the tube.

No one will ever convince me that Karl Rove didn't have a hand in getting this fool installed as DNC head.

Maybe you guys are right. I didn't see it so maybe I shouldn't say much, but I just can't imagine that he was actually going to make a statement like that about Osama when in the past he has basically endorsed capturing Osama (while criticizing everything about how the Bush administration is going about it).

I don't think the fact that he repeated it means that much. Why Russert didn't question him is more of a puzzle. The whole thing is very strange and hopefully we'll figure it out soon enough...and have a good laugh at Dean's idiocy.
