The Former Dean Supporters Speaking For Dean Media Syndrome ...

[Casablanca]

We've seen it with "unnamed people in the Dean campaign", we've seen it with Grossman, we've seen it (a little) with Trippi. We've even seen it on this board.

When has Dean given anyone the impression that he needs to be spoken for?

This is how people like this Grossman, this opportunistic Stephanopolous wannabe, treats a person who has fought and sweat blood alongside them - cashing out their credentials for 15 seconds of media limelight as a crystal-ball-du-jour. It's reprehensible, and it forces Dean into the compromised stance of having to issue a rebuttal/apology/explanation for a recently-departed compadre, which the anti-Dean cadre in the media gleefully exploits.

At least DK supporters can take comfort that they have been spared that Judas treatment in the media, and I wouldn't wish it on DK or them.

2. Kerry and *bush never could of

stood up to the carpet bombing Dean has taken by the media and the democratic insiders of the third kind.

Dean is the man.

3. Dean shouldn't have hired K-Streeters

to run a grassroots campaign. They're always auditioning for the next job, instead of performing the one they're supposed to be doing.

4. Trippi did it when he was supposed to do it.

Grossman did it for his own political ends, as far as I can tell.

5. Grossman has a new prince to flatter.

Hey. This is serious business here.. (cough)
