Not only a pinhead, but a gutless pinhead...Dean just doesn't want his fantasy world interfered with...he's got visions of Speaker Pelosi in 2006 and President Gore in 2008, and he doesn't want any of that persnickety reality to interfere...

How's Terry McAuliffe's Global Crossings money going these days?

Warrior, you mean this Terry McAuliffe & this Global Crossing?

In what is an unprecedented case of political profiteering, McAuliffe turned a $100,000 initial investment in the company into $18 million in less than a year and a half—a nifty 18,000% profit. According to the New York Times, McAuliffe made millions more trading the stock and options after the company went public in 1998.

Dean is a weasel... You can tell when the man is lying. He does not want to debate becuase his vision is "The Big Lie".

The "party of cut 'n run," hmmm.

Must be talking about the majority of Iraqis who: A, want our troops out of their country ASAP; and 2, are OK with Iraqis killing Americans to help hurry the occupiers on their way.

Hey Anderson, you are penalized five yards for redundancy. You idiot, those talking points are a year old. Did you just get out of rehab or something?

Howard Dean is a coward, and he's weeks away from the unemployment line...

Still more fallout from Clinton's Cut-and-Run from Mogadishu, Somalia...

Islamic Court Bans Women from Mogadishu Beach

AP: MOGADISHU, Somalia — An Islamic court banned women from swimming at the main beach in the capital to keep women from mingling with men, an official said Friday.

The ban applies only to the northern Mogadishu Leedo beach, where families usually go on weekends.

"We stopped women from swimming because it is against the teaching of Islam for women to mingle with men, especially while they are swimming," said Sheikh Farah Ali Hussein, chair of a northern Mogadishu Islamic court.

Miriam Isse watched others swimming in the Indian Ocean Friday.

"They cannot prevent us from our right to swim in the sea," she said. "What is wrong with us enjoying ourselves like men? That is clear discrimination."

Somali women usually swim fully clothed. Somali men, however, swim in trunks, at times bare-chested or wearing vests.

Hard-line Islamic leaders' militia have swept through most of southern Somalia since taking over Mogadishu in June. Their sometimes strict and often severe interpretation of Islam has raised the specter of Afghanistan's ousted Taliban regime, and contrasts with the moderate Islam that has dominated Somali culture for centuries. They have introduced public executions and floggings of convicts.

My guess is that Dean didn't want to appear with Mehlman because he would confront him about being a gay closeted anti-gay Republican. It's well known that Mehlman is gay, but used anti-gay bias to win in 2004.

Dean is very confrontational, and he knows it sometimes backfires for him. So, I bet he wanted to avoid the possibility of outing another Republican hypocrite in the wake of the Foley scandal.

He's learned when to keep his mouth shut. . .

That makes absolutely NO sense. Why, if the conventional wisdom is true and Foleygate is helping the democrats so much, would Dean want to "avoid the possibility of outing another Republican hypocrite in the wake of the Foley scandal"?
