Open Letter To the Democratic National Committee

To: National Democrats

Re: Your Boss

Esteemed Opponents,

There's been talk that some of you are becoming nervous about Howard Dean.

The physician and former Vermont governor has sparked a controversy over recent inflammatory remarks, including a characterization of Republicans as "a white, Christian party," and another comment in which he avowed to "hate the Republicans and everything they stand for."

Some of your politicians - Joe Biden springs to mind - have been trying to distance themselves from Mr. Dean.

So what did Joe Biden ever do for you?

Stay the course! Did Ronald Reagan's vision catch on with everyone right away? No! Fact is, you need a leader with vision! So whether that vision is a smaller, more efficient government, lower taxes leading to higher revenues, and a world free of communism, or merely a vision where your opponents are hateful stereotype trolls, you gotta stick with it!

Stay The Course!

The controversy deflected attention Thursday from a press conference called by the Democrats' top leadership, at which they had intended to discuss their legislative plans for the next few weeks.

The reporter is mistaken. Dean does capture the Democrat agenda; envy, recrimination, anger at losing what they felt to be a sinecure...

Stay The Course!

Dean became a media magnet on the campaign trail for his populist appeal, record-breaking fundraising and an infamous screaming speech following a presidential primary defeat.

Vision! Vision! Vision!

"I think a lot of (the controversy) is exactly what the Republicans want, and that's a diversion," he said.

Well, to be fair, most of us had pretty low expectations in the "rational debate" department.

Several member of his party have distanced themselves from Dean's comments, and some have even called on him to apologize for the remarks.

But the leader of House Democrats, Nancy Pelosi, saw Republican opportunism in the contretemps.

"The fact is that the Republicans are trying to make a lot of hay out of Governor Dean's remarks because they are failing to meet the needs of the American people," she said at a press conference.

"If Governor Dean were not being effective, they would not be going after him so strongly," Pelosi said.

Er...

...exactly. What she said.

That Dean and Pelosi. Stick with 'em, Dems. They're gold.

Gold, I tells ya.
