Then:
"If we had strong leadership in the Democratic Party, they would be calling those other candidates and saying, 'Hey look, somebody's going to have to win here.' If Ron Brown were the chairman, this wouldn't be happening." -- Howard Dean, Dec. 28, 2003, on attacks by his opponents when he was the front-runner for his party's nomination
Now:
"I'm outraged by a candidate who says that he's against the special interests, and then [I] find out he's taking more special interest money than anyone else in 15 years. ... It turns out we got more than one Republican in the Democratic race." -- Howard Dean, Jan. 31, 2004, on current Democratic front-runner, John Kerry
Yeah, yeah. Once again, it's OK for Dean to take abuse, but once he starts dishing it out, whoa, that's over the line.
Posted by: strannix on February 2, 2004 04:26 PMOver the line? Maybe. Desperate and pathetic? Quite. Nobody abused your candidate, Strannix. He suffers from a congenital case of Foot-In-Mouth disease, which he rightly suffered for on a number of occasions. Shall I list them? "Cockroaches?" "Confederate flags?" "I suppose that's a good thing?"
Then he whined about what a "pincushion" he was.
Then he whined about how much "buckshot" he'd had to pull out of his posterior.
Then he had the audacity to tell John Kerry to "stop whining."
Then he calls Kerry a Republican.
And a hypocrite.
For taking $46k a year in lobbyist money? That's chump change. It doesn't even pay for a week of your new campaign manager's time. What's he do again? Oh yeah. He's a lobbyist.
