DNC Chairman Dean on Meet the Press

Fans of DNC Chairman Howard Dean must have been shaking their pompoms while watching him yesterday on NBC's Meet the Press with Tim Russett.

The DNC website, Kicking Ass (Dean gave it that name), provides some quotes:

"Our moral values, in contradiction to the Republicans', is (sic) we don't think kids ought to go to bed hungry at night.".

And this: "Our moral values say that we ought to have a strong, free public education system so that we can level the playing field."

Millions of Democrats love Dean because he says things like Republicans "think kids ought to go to bed hungry." So what if it's false and mean spirited?

Democrats are happy Dean talks about "a strong, free public education system" without mentioning the many failing public school systems which they and their teacher union allies have controlled for generations.

I'm sure Dean's received many e-mails from Democrats saying, "Well done, Chairman."

That's sad. The Democrats were once a better party.
