First You Talk Everyone Into

First You Talk Everyone Into Loving Each Other - Atomizer, from the Fraters, finds the perfect comparison with the Dean campaign's view of foreign policy:

"Howard Dean has revived the old Steve Martin comedy bit of the late seventies entitled 'You Can Be A Millionaire and Never Pay Taxes'. For those of you who don't remember, Martin's foolproof plan to foil the IRS began with:

'First...get a million dollars.'

Dean's modern day equivalent reads (from his own website):

I (have) laid out four goals for American leadership in the world:
First, defeat the threat posed by terrorists, tyrants, and technologies of mass destruction.

Despite the fact that Dr. Dean has opposed everything President Bush has done in the past three years to do just that while offering no alternative solution, I think he is on the right track. All we have to do is simply claim a desire to defeat the enemy and things will work themselves out."

I'm convinced Dean has to know that he's talking garbage - but that his advisors know that the Dean base is completely illiterate about foreign policy.

Or blinded by ideology or anti-Bush hatred to know better.

Same thing, really.
