Howard Dean: The Republican Gift that Keeps on Givin’ - Part IV

Howard Dean to President Bush: “Leave bin Laden alone!” Remember when Democrats were all up in arms about then-Governor Bush mispronouncing or confusing the name of a foreign leader. In their world of one-sidedness, the Democrats aren’t rushing out to publicly correct the “idiot” Chairman of the DNC for is appearance on Meet the Press this weekend, in which he confused Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein… not once, but twice!

But the thing that really bothered me the most, which the 9-11 Commission said also wasn’t true, is the insinuation that the president continues to make to this day that Osama bin Laden had something to do with supporting terrorists that attacked the United States. That is false. The 9-11 Commission, chaired by a Republican, said it was false.

and…

And the truth was Osama bin Laden was a very bad person who was doing terrible things, but that Iraq was never a threat to the United States. That was the truth.

But maybe there’s a clear explanation of these apparent slip-ups. Maybe Dean didn’t confuse the names and in fact truly believes Osama bin Laden, despite bin Laden’s own admission to the contrary, was not involved in terrorist attacks against the U.S.

Afterall, it was Howard Dean that said of bin Laden, while acknowleding that bin Laden had admitted to “killing 3,000 Americans as well as scores of men, women and children around the world”:

“I will have this old-fashioned notion that even with people like Osama, who is very likely to be found guilty, we should do our best not to, in positions of executive power, not to prejudge jury trials.”

So is Howard Dean just a bumbling moron, or is he a terrorist-sympathizing idiot?

Howard Dean on Saddam: “Clinton Lied or Governor Bush swayed Congress” In fine Howard Dean fashion, he also makes this statement:

MR. RUSSERT: But John Kerry, Hillary Clinton, John Edwards, Joe Lieberman all said Saddam was a threat to the United States. That was the belief.

DR. DEAN: Because they were told that by the president of the United States…

Interesting. Considering the prominent Democrats all recited a litany of reasons that Saddam was a threat to the region, the U.S. and the world…. back in 1998! Either Howard Dean is making a freudian slip and accusing Bill Clinton of exaggerating the threat posed by Saddam, or he’s giving then-Governor Bush a heck of alot of credit in persuading members of the federal government, long before he was even a Presidential candidate.

If Dean is this big of an idiot in an off-year, I can’t wait for election season to roll back around. Heck, Dean and his mouth could probably even get Tom DeLay elected President. Keep up the good work, Mr. Chairman.

More Dean Babble - Thank you DNC for electing this guy!
