I am so sick of this crap, so listen up. Here we are again, playing defense, preparing - ooh! ooh! - to defend Howard Dean from attacks by Republicans about things he may have said that, if twisted or sound bit the right way, sound terribly impolitic, to say the least. WE LOST, people; it's time to go on offense. We are being complete girly men about this - and they're banking on it. We need to walk right up and slap them in the face, and then do it again, harder, just for good measure.
