howard dean

With apologies to Ken Mehlman, Howard Dean is quickly becoming the GOP's favorite party chairman. Like something out of a science fiction movie, Dean seems to represent some sort of nexus in the universe for overwrought emotion, stupidity and arrogance.

A few months back at a gathering of black Democrats Dean commented that the Republicans couldn't "get this many people of color in a single room" unless they included "the hotel staff".
