Dementia Still Roaring

I realize some people don't accord Newsmax as much respect as other mainstream news outlets, but you just have to love the vast reach of their archives - particularly the entire server dedicated to Howard Dean's verbal exploits.

Here's Dr. Demented's latest:

Democratic National Committee chairman Howard Dean is telling reporters that there's no doubt top White House aide Karl Rove is guilty in the Valerie Plame Leakgate case....

"There's no question that Rove was the one that leaked the information about the CIA agent's name," Dean told MSNBC's Nora O'Donnell on Friday.

Which, of course, even if true, was not illegal. Which more than kind of brings Howie's use of the term "guilt" into question. Pity there's no chance Ms. O'Donnell asked Chairman How his assessment of Mary McCarthy's guilt, or any of the other members of the CIA's Castra Praetoria, or the New York Times' blowing the cover off the NSA's terrorist surveillance program, both of which were unquestionably unlawful, not to mention treasonous. Why else would the Times' writers have won Pulitzers for it?

But Carl Limbacher and the boys recalled a different, delicious angle:

Three years ago, however, Dean urged caution when it came to assessing the guilt of Osama bin Laden, whose role in the September 11 attacks, he said, should not be prejudged....when it came to the al Qaida terror chief, Dean insisted that bin Laden was innocent until proven guilty.

So, according to the titular head of the Democrat Party, Karl Rove is guiltier than Osama Bin Laden.

Along those same lines, the ACLU has filed a federal lawsuit seeking to block a new Kentucky law intended to prevent protesters from disrupting funerals for soldiers killed in Iraq on the grounds that being obnoxious, seditious assholes is a venerated First Amendment right.

These babbling idiots give me hope for November, no matter how badly the Republicans lose their way. They really do.
