Howard Dean: Fitzgerald Must Indict

Democratic National Committee chairman Howard Dean is urging Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald to bring indictments in the Valerie Plame Leakgate case, saying he won't accept any other result.

Dean was asked Sunday by ABC "This Week" host George Stephanopoulos: "If [Fitzgerald] finishes his investigation without bringing indictments and without issuing a final report, will you accept that as the end of the matter?"

"No," Dean shot back. "Because I fundamentally don't think these are honest people running the government."

The top Democrat said that regardless of whether Fitzgerald brings any indictments, it's clear the White House engaged in a cover-up.

"The evidence is very clear [that] half the stuff the president told us about Iraq - the weapons of mass destruction, the trip to Niger, the purchase of uranium and all that stuff - we know that's not true," Dean said.

"What got [Karl] Rove and [Lewis] Libby in trouble is that they were attacking, which the Republicans always do, attacking somebody who criticizes and disagrees with them."

Dean said it is "a fundamental flaw in the Bush administration - the personal attacks on people for meritorious arguments. They never make the argument - they always make the personal attack."

=) You just can't make this stuff up:

"What got [Karl] Rove and [Lewis] Libby in trouble is that they were attacking, which the Republicans always do, attacking somebody who criticizes and disagrees with them."

Pot to kettle, pot to kettle: YOU'RE BLACK!

****Dean shot back. "Because I fundamentally don't think these are honest people running the government." ****

Yep, Howard Dean is an expert on homesty. And of couse liberals never do name calling or make personal attack do they. LOL!

[ncountylee]

the personal attacks on people for meritorious arguments.

The Clintons have an exclusive on this and even use FBI files and IRS audits.

[buckeyesrule]

I wonder if Howie Dean can make up his mind on the guilt or innocence of Bin Laden or Sadaam.

[Boundless]

> ... Dean is urging ... indictments ..., saying
> he won't accept any other result.

Or else what?

We're quaking in our boots awaiting an answer.

Dean then goes on to parrot discredited DNC TPs
(TP: Talking Points, or is it Toilet Paper?)

Oh, I hope Fitzgerald brings some indictments, too, Howie, if people lied and/or mishandled intelligence before/during/after their attempt to screw with the election.

Who is Howeird Dean and why should I care what he will or will not accept?????

Sounds like ole Howlin' Howie has a severe case of Clintonitis. Plamegate isn't about him, the DNC, or politics (if we believe the news reports - which we don't).

IMO, by Howlin' Howie going public with this, if Fitzgerald files indictments, it seems to me that Rove and Libby have grounds to fight the indictments by citing political pressure from the DNC.

I think ole Howlin' Howie may have just screwed the pooch!

[Cicero]

Howie, if you're so honest, why did you seal all your records as governor of Vermont?

[Just A Nobody]

What about the "Freedom of Information Act"

Oh, he's a demonRAT ... nevermind.

[rellimpank]

---my cynical take is that Dean is trying to send a message that if there are indictments harmful to the Bush Administration, there is a federal judgeship or even Supreme Court opening for this prosecutor when the Demotraitors regain office---

Earth to Howard:

The regime of the "Former Occupant of the Oval Office, 1993-2001" was not particularly noted for transparency or honesty during its stewardship. In fact, the only thing in which they were completely honest, was in their statements of "I don't recall" when before grand juries themselves.

Brains fried on cocaine and LSD are notorious for short-term memory loss. Which leads to terminal silliness, not the best trait for governing a nation.

Any nation.

I wonder if Howards keepers know he is off his meds again..

[jennyjenny]

I just hope he is on the Sunday talk shows, every week between now and the 2006 election.

I still can't believe this guy got through med school.

[operation clinton cleanup]

saying he won't accept any other result.

Whats he going to do, scream some more?

[Brilliant]

It's unethical for a political operative to try to influence a criminal investigation.

[Reaganghost]

"doesnt suffer fools gladly"

It is difficult to believe that Dean was within a moment of silence of being the Democratic nominee for President.

America will never be safe as long as a single Democrat holds elected public office.

[God luvs America]

so in essence if the SP does not do exactly what hiel howard dean thinks should be done it is unacceptable- and the leader of the rats actually wants us to think he believes in democracy??
