Get Howard Dean

The Democrats, in a stirring show of bipartisanship, have joined Republicans in ganging up on DNC chairman Howard Dean in recent weeks. Beyond the gripes of frontline Democratic pols about Dean's rhetoric, major donors are said to be mad at the party because Dean's ignoring them, and some top fundraisers have quit as well. 

I'll have a piece about it in next week's CP, but meantime here's a transcript of a June 2 Dean speech at the Take Back America conference. As you can see, he's just crazy!

Finally, here's a piece from Doug Ireland's great DIRELAND blog about reservations toward Dean from the left-liberal side.
