Looney Liberal of the Week: Howard Dean

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- This week's award goes to Howard Dean. This is Dean's second weekly award. He also won the 2005 Looney Liberal of the Year Award by popular vote! Howard wins this award for his assertion on Wednesday, that "There's a difference between the involvement of Congressman Jefferson in activities for which there's been no indictment and the culture of corruption that extends throughout the White House, the vice president's office and both houses of Congress".

Are you kidding me? Of course there's a difference! The FBI caught William Jefferson 'red-handed' accepting a bribe. They have him on video tape and audio tape. They found $90,000 in his freezer! There is no such proof of the 'alleged' corruption of Tom Delay, Karl Rove, Scooter Libby or Dick Cheney. The difference is that Congressman Jefferson is not 'allegedly' guilty... he's OBVIOUSLY guilty. Dean is as nutty as a fruitcake if he's suggesting anything less.

Dean is guilty of the worst kind of loonacy... trying to protect a political slogan in an election year. All Dean needs is a few more Democrats like William Jefferson, and the slogan culture of corruption could come back to haunt him.

But the loonacy doesn't stop there. Howard Dean then went on to say that Democrats are "not perfect, but we will make sure that any member of the House -- Democrat or Republican -- 1) does not get any more free meals; 2) does not get any more free jet plane rides; 3) is not allowed to sneak riders in the middle of bills that have already been passed and voted on before they're given to the president..."

Please note that Dean did not say, "...and 4) IS NOT ALLOWED ACCEPT CASH DONATIONS OF $10,000 OR MORE FOR CONVENIENT FREEZER STORAGE!" Hmmmm. I wonder why he forgot that last one?
