That crunching, slurping, smacking sound you hear are the RATS consuming each other. Wonder what they'll do for desert?

Democratic Sen. Joe Biden blasted the head of his own party on Sunday for his over-the-top outbursts, saying that Democratic National Committee chairman Howard Dean doesn't speak for him as well as most other Democrats he knows.
Asked about recent comments where Dean trashed Republicans as "evil" and said House Majority Leader Tom DeLay belongs in jail, Biden told ABC's "This Week": "He doesn't speak for me with that kind of rhetoric and I don't think he speaks for the majority of Democrats."
Asked if he thought Democrats needed to "rein [Dean] in," Biden said, "I don't presume to suggest that I could rein in any chairman. But I think that the response from the bulk of the elected Democrats - I don't imagine would be much different."
"I hope [Dean] listens," added the Delaware Democrat.
Hillary explored coming out in open opposition to Dean but the Clintons counted the votes and realized that even with their opposition Dean would still be elected Chairman.
Dean will not resign. And as long as he has the support of the state party officals he is safe. He says the things he says because the Rank and File Democrats who run the party on a local basis love him.
The danger for Hillary is Kerry is going to run again with the support of Kennedy. For that battle Dean will be in Kerry's corner. If the media plays up Hillary as the anti-Dean, the base may very well give Kerry the nomination again.
Biden may very well trash Dean, but you will not hear Hillary bash him if she can stay out of the lime light where Dean is concerned.
When the Democrat Party voters actually started voting in 2004, Dean fell off the face of the earth.
As long as Democrats don't care about actually winning elections, Howard Dean is the perfect spokesman for them.
I think you're on to something.
And the reason you made him the head of your party then, is???
But of course he has no problem with presuming to rein in the President, the Senate or the American people if they get out of line...
Sen. Joe Biden is only trying to get his face on TV. I an't recall rhe last time he said anything of importance.
No I don't suppose Howling Howard Dean does speak for Biden or the rest of the party, they are too slick to reveal their evil thoughts-Howling Howard merely amplifies the inner evil they so desperately wish to keep hidded.
"Base" ? When will people understand that the Democratic base is not just cultural elite latte liberals ? It is also minority voters for whom the 90's were economically the best of times ? Blacks don't like cultural elite latte liberals. They like someone who can walk into a church and not look like Margaret Mead in Samoa. Kerry never understood that.
Blacks will give Hillary overwhelming support and that will clinch the nomination.
I HEART HOWARD DEAN!
Howling Howard Dean is making history-he represents the first time in political history that a party's logo, has been promoted to Party Chairman.
Let me see if I have this straight, Joey...
Dr. Howard Dean, Chairman of the Democratic National Committee, doesn't speak for most democrats?
Well, that's comforting to know!

Beautiful! How ironic.
He knows how to throw a great Kegger Party.........he stays up into the middle of the morning, finishing off the keg, and making strange noises and waxing philosophical.

I'd like to CLUB Howard Dean with a SPADE.
