4. Great quote!

Foreign policy based on petulence.

Now that is some truth, friends.

[Khephra]

5. ...that's what happens when you have a foreign policy based on petulance!"

SLAM!

[liberalnurse]

17. I sure smacked my lips on that trigger word....

petulance...Great!!!

[Cush]

6. Would consider Clark for VP

won't be disappointed if Clark runs because its his right

[thinkahead]

39. Transcript of remarks on Clark

On Sunday, Dean told CNN's "Late Edition with Wolf Blitzer" that -- if nominated by his party -- he would consider tapping retired U.S. Army Gen. Wesley Clark as a vice presidential running mate.

"Yes," Dean said when asked whether he would consider asking the former NATO supreme commander to join his ticket.

"There would be a great many people, of course, that would be considered as a potential running mate. And I must say, I think it's much too early to discuss potential running mates. I mean, we're five months from the time the first official vote and delegate selection takes place.

"So I find it very premature. But I think Wes Clark, he's somebody I keep in close touch with. He's a terrific person, very bright, very capable, very thoughtful. Our views coincide on a number of matters, and he is -- I certainly can't say enough good things about him. It would be tough to run against him."

[Clete]

7. Dean would consider Clark as potential running mate.

However, he is keeping it open until Clark decides.

[grasswire]

9. "our views coincide"

....he said..."on a number of issues." He says they keep in close contact.

[Khephra]

13. We knew they were talking

But I really liked the "close contact" bit.

[Pastiche423]

23. Fuck

Dean just lost a very ardent and active supporter.

[Pepperbelly]

30. i expect he gained far more than ...

he lost by that remark.

[never cry wolf]

34. what for??

for praising clark???

[liberalnurse]

38. Honey, we've got to be stategicly smart.

Clark brings poise and military expertise to a *bush quagmire....we can't afford to present ourselves as less than capable of cleaning up the mess.

[Pastiche423]

44. Please do not include me in that "we".

Knowing this now will prevent me from using up my limited energy on the wrong person.

I will hand over my cheerleading baton to someone else in my community.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

47. ?

[Khephra]

8. Wolf: would you consider Clark as a potential running mate?

Dean : (A VERY quick) YES (with stress too).

[liberalnurse]

15. Whooo that was a quick stinger!

Things are getting warmer......I'm taking their pulse....Dean/Clark looks more realistic.

[sugarcookie]

31. I have to admit my pulse quickened

with excitement when I heard Dean say that!

edit: to add text

[caledesi]

57. I noticed how quickley and emphatically he responded. Woo Hoo!

My dream ticket: Dean/Clark

[Cush]

10. Lol

Dean: Joe's campaign is in trouble and he knows it

[caledesi]

58. Loved it...absolutely loved it. With such a straight face too.

[Pepperbelly]

11. Dean supporters ...

He had nothing but good things to say about Clark with whom he is apparently somewhat close.

Good candidates abound. We should be HAPPY!

[sfecap]

14. We are happy.

Very happy. :bounce:

[JustJoe]

12. Lieberman looked embalmed

in that little "ticket to nowhere" clip...

[newsguyatl]

29. LOL!

[Khephra]

16. Dean has learned from his MTP appearance

He's doing much better on the tough questions this time around.

[snyttri]

40. Yes, he is doing better, and keeping an edge.He should go back on

MTP. Is it smart to bash Lieberman when his campaign is dying a natural death and he will have residual supporters to mobilize for the general election?

[Khephra]

45. Well, each time Lieberman responds

He seems to lose even more support from the Democratic base.

:shrug:

I think it's too late for Joe no matter what happens, so.... :shrug:

[snyttri]

53. He sounded good talking about Clark. He should sound gracious talking

about Lieberman and keep disagreements to the issues. I hope that's how he sounds next time.

[never cry wolf]

18. some of us have no access to cnn right now

i, for one, am at work. please keep us informed. thanks in advance, sounds great so far. the dems need some unity.

[Khephra]

19. There will be a transcript up later today

Wolfe just played the Delay bit about Dean's vision of the Democratic Party going out with disco.

Dean came back with "Delay's never balanced a budget." :-)

[Khephra]

22. What was his quote about the flag?

Oh, and I think he just called the Bush administration a "regime". :-)

[Pepperbelly]

27. something like ... "we're going to take back the flag. It belongs to ...

all of us and not just Tom Delay."

I think that is very close.

[Demobrat]

32. I think it was

We're not going to let you take our flag anymore.

[liberalnurse]

Yes he did, and it is a regime!

I just love a man who can articulate with a razor between his teeth.

[caledesi]

59. Dean shoots from the hip with an Uzi!

[sfecap]

20. Kicking the Bugman's ass....

DeLay is piece of shit.

"Our flag doesn't belong to Tom DeLay..."

Bush is going back to Crawford, TX.

Inept regime...

[FlashHarry]

24. He should've rebutted DeLay's quote like this:

DeLay said HD Dems 'want to party like it's 1979.' Dean should've fired back, 'DeLay and Bush want to party like it's 1879!

[librechik]

54. 1679

you mean

[farmbo]

21. Touch 'em all Howard!!

Great performance... a towering home run!

[grasswire]

28. he did well

confidant, cool, determined

[LizW]

25. Whoo-hoo!

Great job!:kick:

[DoveTurnedHawk]

26. AWESOME Appearance By Dean!

I love how he called Shrub on the carpet about insulting our allies and having a "foreign policy based on petulance."

I think Dean has just eclipsed Kerry as my favorite person currently running. I still desperately want Clark to run (and I love how much respect Dean showed for Clark), but I would also be thrilled to vote and work for Dean.

DTH

[Pepperbelly]

33. yep ... what DTH said ...

same here.

[newsguyatl]

36. i'm

LOVIN all this unity on this thread... what a nice change...


after all clark supporters, we MAY be working together very soon, just remember that ;-)

[JustJoe]

50. Right on. If Dean folks n Clark folks

would take their cues from Dean n Clark,
who obviously have a mutual admiration society goin,
there'd be lots more peace & hope round cheer.

[bicentennial_baby]

37. Agreed

I'm pulling for Clark to run, but I'm very happy with these new developments.

:bounce:

[JNelson6563]

35. I thought it was very good

Joe's campaign is in trouble.

DeLay never balanced a budget.
DeLay's state just cut 230,000 kids from medical coverage rolls.

Likes Clark.

He really has polished those interview skills.

Julie--happy Dean supporter

[Clark Can WIN]

42. I would be happy to work for Clark or Dean

But Id rather work for both of them in the future. My prefrence is still Clark/Dean because I think it would go further but ........DAMN......... Dean sure did look good today. Way to go doctor!

[JustJoe]

41. Dean on DeLay

DeLay made a joke about Dean being stuck in
big govt/blame America Democratic past...
"The Howard Dean Democrats still want to party
like it's 1979..."

DEAN: I balanced budgets,
Tom DeLay has never done that.
I made sure every child in my
state has health insurance. In Tom Delay's
state they just cut 230,000 off health
care because they couldnt balance their
budget. I delivered jobs, the Republicans
have never delivered any jobs for a long time.
The Republicans havent balanced any budgets
for 34 years in this country. Let's let
the American people decide who's the centrist,
who's the mainstream political (?) here.
I think Tom DeLay and the President are
way out there on the extreme.
And I just might add one more thing--
We're not gonna let them take our flag any more.
That flag belongs to everybody in the country,
it doesnt belong to Tom DeLay.

[snyttri]

43. more Tom DeLay on TV!

He is a Newt Gingrich quality attack target. Get him his own show.

[ferg]

52. wow

Excellent response.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

46. On accepting matching funds:

"We're gonna do what it takes (to get GB out of the Whitehouse)."

Said he raised $7M last quarter not $70M. So matching funds are still in play.

"We're gonna send GB back to Crawford."


Any way we can.

[Khephra]

48. It's time to stop playing Mr.Nice-Guy to the Republicans

I don't fault Dean on this issue, either way he goes. No one knew that the Internet would be having such a major effect on fundrasing when Dean talked about matching funds originally. Things have changed in a big way that no one could have foreseen.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

51. Yeah.

It's looking good, Kef. And the Dean/Clark possibility could be devastating.

[Jacobin]

49. Excellent

I finally get to hear someone say on national TV that the administration is inept and that foreign policy is based on petulance.

It's just so TRUE.

Phuck Holy Joe and his soulmate Tom DeLay.

Great interview and Blitzer is obviously beginning to take him seriously.

[Upfront]

55. Dean Hit Another Homer!

Dr. Dean did not surprise me today. He has, and will continue to take the fight to Bush and his gang. No waffle, no political tap dance, just boom, right to the facts as he sees them. Dean and Clark will be sending Bush back to his hole. I can't wait!:bounce:

[Pavlovs DiOgie]

56. Ditto!

:party:
