More On Dean And The Flag

Howard Dean made his Confederate Flag comments the other day and managed to tick a lot of people off. Last night, during the Democratic debate, Dean had an opportunity to seperate himself from the other racists running for election. But instead, he manages to pander to the traditional Democratic constituancy while refusing to apologize. How he pulled that off, I don't know, but he did it. And in the process, probably ticked off even more people.

That wasn't the part that really got me though. I was really intrigued by this:

Asked whether they had ever used marijuana, Edwards, Dean and Sen. John Kerry said they have....Alone among the eight, former Sen. Carol Moseley Braun declined to answer.

Why am I not surprised that Kerry used? Why? I guess I just find it hard to believe that someone could be that out there and not have fried a few brain cells with the wacky weed.

I tell you, these guys just look worse every time they open their mouths. There seems to be no discussion of real issues going on, which if it holds will make the campaign for the general election in 2004 a very ugly one indeed.
