More Dean (UPDATED)
Reports of my whiteness have been greatly exaggerated.
UPDATE: I think Howard Dean will get the boot soon for one huge reason that has nothing to do with his big mouth.
As of April 30, the RNC had raised $44.7 million this year to the DNC’s $20.9 million. RNC Chairman Ken Mehlman has $30.1 million in cash to play with as he works to expand the GOP base ahead of the 2006 election, whereas Dean will have to do the same thing with only $7.4 million and a foot wedged tightly in his mouth. And even before Dean’s latest round of stupid remarks, three top Democratic fundraisers had already quit.
UPDATE: Amateur shrink time: Larry Elder thinks that Dean--whose father was a conservative Republican--is playing out his family issues for the public.
UPDATE: The DNC Chairman tries to make ammends.










From the linked article:
"Asked about Dean, House Democratic Whip Steny Hoyer (Md.) told The Hill, “I think the party spokesmen are Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi..."
Oh, 'cuz they're soooo much better.... (blink, blink)

Any guesses on where that boot will be aimed?
Maybe they'll give it to Cynthia McKinney next and continue the mindless hate spewing.
I'm glad I wasn't drinking anything when I read that first line, J. I hate cleaning keyboards.

What I find very funny about this is that he's doing the big big bad of STEREOTYPING here.
I though only white, christian republicans ever stereotyped people.
Either that, or he's following that bad logic a->b means b->a which we all got slapped for back in 10th grade geometry. Just because most white evangelical christians are republicans does not imply the inverse.
And he calls himself a doctor. FOR SHAME.

Baldi, look closely in the mirror. Have you noticed yourself "lightening up" a bit? Have you found yourself fighting an urge to smoke big cigars, and make a million dollars (unethically, of course). Have you heard the voice of Darth Rove in your head whispering: "You're my daughter, Baldi, give in to the right side of the force!" :)

Tony:
Oh. *That's* what that voice was!

Hey! How's it going, White Man?

Baldi:
And you thought it was the Holy Spirit? :)

Nah, they won't boot him. That wouldn't be "nice" and it might hurt his "feelings". There's no place for such action in today's Democrat party.
Fortunately.

Ya, but have you ever done an honest day's work? (only kidding)

Not if I can help it. :-)

One theory has it that Dean is a "decoy" - they let him ramble on, getting more and more Leftish, so that when Hillary comes along, people will see her as almost reasonable.

Who needs comics anymore when one has the news? I tend to agree with Mike, Dean is going wild so Hillary can appear "normal".
Baldilocks, I enjoy your blog a great deal. Thanks for your efforts.

I suspect that a considerable number of today's leftists have issues with their parents. Would love to see some data on this.

Are you now or have you ever been an Irishman?

Um, no sir.

Soon she will be listening to Pat Boone records.

Dean's infamous "YYEEEEAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHH!!!" is beginning to sound downright reasonable and intelligent when compared to his current spewings.

I'm on the "Hillary's decoy" bandwagon. She is working day and night to paint herself as a moderate for '08. Dean's just the backdrop.

I think you either need a better photographer or a stronger flash unit - your picture looks a little dark for a white guy.
Or did you post the negative, by mistake? Sure, that must be it...
