Where's the Beef? I just don't get the Howard Dean appeal. I wouldn't buy a used car from this guy. It makes me sick when I hear him wrapping himself up in Paul Wellstone progressive liberalism. This is the same man who wooed a roomful of rabid market fundamentalists at the Cato Institute just a few years back (The Appeal of Howard Dean ). Kind of makes you wonder when the masters of polemic at the WSJ are shilling for the guy ( Confederacy of Dunces) and the rest of the mass media, the same people who brought us Iraq II, give this man a free pass to wear the liberal crown? Not only aint Dean a liberal, he's in bed with the gun nuts.
