What a very odd man is Howard Dean
ABC:
In his first post-Katrina visit to the Crescent City, Dean helped Acorn, a nonprofit community group that works with low-income families, to clean out Vincent Cooper’s flood-damaged home….When asked if he thought Americans had moved beyond Katrina and may forget about the storm by the time the November elections rolled around, Dean replied, “This is a searing, burning issue, and I think it is going to cost George Bush his legacy and it’s going to cost the Republicans the House and the Senate and maybe the presidency in the next election. People will never forget this.”
Where to begin? Katrina is obviously not a “searing, burning issue” and it seems remarkably odd and inept to insist it is. He named a number of other issues as critical for the election in a different interview last week, and failed to mention Katrina. And what’s with ABC’s lack of curiosity about this being DNC chief Dean’s first visit to New Orleans a full six months after the emergence of the searing, burning issue that will spell ruin for the GOP?
