my favorite nut speaks

From the AP

WASHINGTON (AP) - Democratic Party Chairman Howard Dean on Wednesday defended his recent harsh criticism of Republicans, including his observation that they are "pretty much a white, Christian party."
Dean noted that he, too, is a white Christian. But he said the GOP is too narrow in its scope and the Democratic Party is far more diverse.
While even prominent Democrats in recent days have distanced themselves from some of his comments, the outspoken Dean, appearing on NBC"s "Today" show, said criticism of him is meant by Republicans to divert attention from the country's problems and make him the issue instead.
Dean told a forum of journalists and minority leaders Monday that Republicans are "not very friendly to different kinds of people, they are a pretty monolithic party ... it's pretty much a white, Christian party." Challenged on that during the NBC interview, Dean said "unfortunately, by and large it is. And they have the agenda of the conservative Christians."
"This is a diversion from the issues that really matter: Social Security, and adequate job opportunity, strong public schools, a strong defense," Dean said.

Well it's not like he's not speaking the truth. I mean come on folks, he's right on the basic points. The problem is that ever since the screeching incident, the little filters between his inner monologue and his mouth are out of alignment, so the delivery is, errr, raw. On the other hand with so many Dems with their heads in the sand, paralyzed, caught like deer in headlights, or just making nicey-nice like Edwards, it's nice to hear my favorite nut stir some shit up now and then.

People worry he may be a liability for the the Dems in 2008. I hate to break it to you, we've got bigger problems that a little Tourette's from our leader. Jeb's got it sewn up anyway.
