"Dean also claimed that the best DemocRATS are Socialists"

[Matchett-PI]

"Lies and character assination is all they have. The more the Left mentions me in this context, the better I like it."

[threeleftsmakearight]

It's pretty sad that a major political party actually takes seriously the likes of Dean and Sharpton...to name a couple.

[Matchett-PI]

I wonder how loing it will be before RS (the one holdonnow calls "Rat Sh*t") shows up in this thread. LOL

Great job Howard.

Screw you Al.

'..Dean yesterday defended his public mocking of..Rush Limbaugh's battle against addiction to painkillers, saying, "It is galling to be lectured to about moral values by folks who have their own problems.

"Hypocrisy is a value that I think has been embraced by the Republican Party," Mr. Dean told NBC's "Meet the Press" yesterday. "We get lectured by people all day long about moral values by people who have their own moral shortcomings."

Mr. Dean, a doctor, was unapologetic about his parody, even when "Meet the Press" host Tim Russert asked whether it is "appropriate for a physician to mock somebody who has gone into therapy and the abuse for drug addiction?"

"Rush Limbaugh has made a career of belittling other people and making jokes about President Clinton, about Mrs. Clinton and others," Mr. Dean said. "I don't think he's in any position to do that.'

HEY HOWARD! RUSH IS IN A POSITION TO DO THAT - but I'm guessing that isn't what the people who put you in YOUR position expect from you.

There is something very very wrong with Dean.

Looking at that photo of Tweedledee and Tweedledum, it looks like Dean has really aged in two years.

Was there ever a bigger goober than Al Gore? His belt seems to be approaching his armpits in that picture.

Even if mentioned in passing, I think Rush mentioning Dean's past drinking habits is unfortunate. We gripe when the left pokes at Bush's history of drinking -- why should we bring up Dean's?

Dean opened hmself up to this by mocking Limbaugh's drug addiction.

Hmmmm, I'm still thinking - give me a few minutes..........

[CedarDave]

Do you have a FR link to the San Francisco Chronicle article he is reading from?

[NonValueAdded]

Only to illustrate the hypocrisy. That's the problem of living in a glass house and Dr. Dean needs to learn the lesson.

Because it is a legitimate concern, how many times have you heard that W has crawled back into the bottle.

Has Dean ever really crawled out of the bottle, or has he substituted something else for his addiction?

[FormerACLUmember]

Howard Dean is a medical doctor. That is all he and I have in common.

Dean's bizarre behavior in "imitating" Mr. Limbaugh's (non-existent) cocaine addiction, even if it were true, violates medical ethics in the extreme. He is a massive embarassment to the medical profession, as well as demonstrating an absence of basic human decency. Thank goodness that the other MD in national political life, Dr. Bill Frist, shows an unceasing high degree of class, morality and ethical behavior.

Jimmah Carter? Mikey Dukakis?

Apples and oranges.

Bush hasn't made a point of discussing other people's past short comings or addictions. If Dean wants to criticize Rush for his problems it's only fair that Dean's past gets brought to light
