I think we should all email ads for Enzyte ("for natural male enhancement") to Mr. Dean. In fact...I'll be right back....

Also, Dean had the good sense to appear second and gain the advantage of being able to rebut and not subject his lies to comment from Mehlman.

[alice_in_bubbaland]

I truly think there's a mental problem with Mr. Dean. How can any one person be that obnoxious.

[xrp]

Of course Dean chickened out. With a senior member of the opposing party present on TV, Dean wouldn't have been able to spew his LIES unchallenged.

[LostInBayport]

What? Appear LIVE with a Republican and debate issues?

That might involve discussing facts and using logic...run away, Howie, run fast...your 'handlers' will protect you and tell you what to think and say, in carefully prepared (snicker) statements that aren't subject to immediate discourse.

On the Washington Journal segment this morning, some reporter described it as a problem on both sides, because people in polittics just don't get along. There was no mention from this guy about Dean being a coward.

[GenXFreedomFighter]

I suppose NBC doesn't have the TV magic to avoid showing the foam on Dean's mouth or the muzzle they'd have to keep him on to prevent him from biting Mehlman. It would kill his PR with sane people.

CHICKEN LITTLE AT NBC: DEAN DUCKS APPEARANCE WITH REPUBLICAN

Of course, that way he can spew his lies and hate without interruption.

[dawn53]

Just my personal opinion:

I think Howard Dean is being set up to exit the scene as DNC chairman.

A couple articles this week referring to lagging donations, etc., and the powers that be are getting ready to boot him.

Those "powers" did their job in appeasing the loonies by putting Dean in the position, but with election cycle beginning, he'll get the boot, because the guy is too far left to be seen/heard by the general public on a regular basis.

[bkepley]

Dean won't appear when there's somebody to call him on his stuff.

[BallyBill]

Dean/Harkin in '08... YeArrggghhhhhhhhhhhh!!

[CyberAnt]

And of course .. MTP will put Mehlman up first so Dean can shoot down everything Ken says. How thoughtful .. I won't be watching!

[SIRTRIS]

[fish hawk]

He can face Timmy Boys softball questions but didn't want to face Mehlmans.

[goresalooza]

I honestly think dean is on the verge of being ousted/fired. He can't go on like this...not raising enough money for the rat coffers and he's truly insane and maniacal. He's got major mental issues.

THANK YOU KARL ROVE...for getting deaniac to run the dnc! Let's hope our Karl can keep dean around a lot longer...

BUAHAHAHHAHAH!

[Zacs Mom]

and dean says the "cRATS represent America's values.

[1066AD]

Hasn't Dean said publically that he "hates" all Republicans ?

Maybe he really does.
