Dean all over ALL the media today. Is it a strategy?
Everyone from Limbaugh to Hannity are parsing Dean's recent statements, letting their audiences know how "insane" he is.

Here's the kicker...they are spreading his message for him. And he's speaking the brutal, honest truth.

Is it some master plan? Dean has sort of come out of nowhere this week with these provocative statements. Is he beating Rove at his own game?

Discuss?

2. Beats talking about Iraq
Or how the USA is having its ass handed to it by the Fuckface Squatter In The White House And His Greedy Thugs.

Or anything except what matters.

Dean's not got a plan. He's doing what he does, which is shoot off his mouth without thought to consequences, and he's making an even greater mess of things for the Democrats. He needs to get out of that job. He's clearly not fit.

IMHO.

15. Making asses of themselves and their jobs?
Oh, I guess I'd be hardpressed to name anyone who's been as big a jerk as Dean.

So, there you go - you win.

8. it has to be strategy
I can't imagine Dean "put his foot in his mouth" in almost the same exact way so many times in recent days.

Every time he makes an "outrageous" comment he gets to go all over the news and talk about what he said.

The liberal pundits out there need to shift the focus from the appropriateness of the comments to the truth at their substance.

He's found a way to get his message through the right-wing media filter and to expose Democrats that're too buddy-buddy with the Republicans.

5. Slow news week. Dean is telling the truth and that is so rare these days.
It's news just to hear truth.

10. This is the Republican response to the DSM. That's all.
The corporate media has anxiously hopped on board to help them tout it for the same reason they've avoided covering the Downing Street Minutes up to this point.

11. I hear that even Hillary gave a tough speech this week.
Maybe Dr. Dean's contagious.

14. Abolutely-they pulled out Mr. Deflector
Mr.Deflector to the rescue!

Oh my! They are going to bring up the DSM, what are we to do?

Mr. Deflector to the rescue, let's put Dean on the hot seat and that will deflect the attention off of that annoying memo.....


Mr. Delector has done it again.....

18. I think Dean is forging a path. I think he is (Yaaaay!) going against
the wishes of those who think they control the DNC and the votes. And he's making me proud. He's, again, making it okay to tell the truth. It's what he does best.
