"If you think what's going on in the Middle East today would be going on if the Democrats were in control, it wouldn't, because we would have worked day after day after day to make sure we didn't get where we are today. We would have had the moral authority that Bill Clinton had ... when he brought together the Israelis and the Palestinians."

I don't think I've read a statement with more arrogance than that one (not to mention ignorance).

Of course it's Bush's fault because EVERYTHING!!! is Bush's fault. I can't believe even a nitwit like Dean believes his latest statement...

I actually think he does. His anti-authority neurosis makes him think the big nasty father figure Republicans are behind all evil. I'd bet $1,000 that, like both Clintons, he had a cold, distant, or dysfunctional father.

It's scary that head cases seem to dominate the upper echelon of the Democratic party.

Wow. Lileks at his most sarcastic, yet still very funny.

Good article.

Howlin' Howie has two problems:

1) He smoked way too much of the cheap weed in his youth.

2) He believes his own press releases.

A true comedian! I would love to see this as a stage performance.
