After asking voters not to focus on “guns, God and gays,” Howard Dean is using Jesus in his campaign rhetoric – but only in the South. Dean is a “Congregationalist” (wtf is that?) and has a Jewish wife and children. Methinks that (a) Dean is too pragmatic to hold any kind of explicit abstract belief, and (b) Dean already has his bases loaded with deities to worship – like the environment and the “common good.” Cox and Forkum comments:
In other news, Dean thinks Bin Laden should be presumed innocent until a jury decides otherwise:
Thank you, Thank you, THANK YOU for saying this.
It is so difficult for me to think that a person who is actually a contender for a major party nomination is espousing such foolishness.
On second thought, I guess foolishness isn't all that uncommon between either party.
Still. Foolishness!
