I read this article yesterday and it's moved me another step closer to supporting Howard Dean. And the attacks from Kerry and Gephardt are below the belt -- because they both know that Dean wasn't supporting or condoning anything bin Laden did in his remarks. He was, in fact, representing the true spirit of our democratic system. And he's 100 percent correct to say that politicians are not the judge and jury. That's what I expect to hear from my president - not a bunch of rah, rah cheerleading, inflammatory, manipulative bullshit.

And my Dean Lean received another nudge when I saw that Chief Fascist Rudy reminded everyone he'll always be a prosecutor at heart. (Don't get me wrong, I respect Guliani and he was a great mayor for NYC. But he should not be unleashed on the American public. Not now -- not ever.) I'd rather the Chief Executive discuss this without prejudice or pandering. How refreshing that would be.
