ALBANY, N.Y. -- "New York's Republican state chairman said Monday that Howard Dean's election as Democratic national chairman shows the rival party's leaders "have refused to learn the lessons of the past two election cycles."

"Howard Dean is the personification of today's national Democratic Party _ elite, radical, out-of-control, and sadly out-of-touch with ordinary Americans," said state GOP Chairman Stephen Minarik....."

Minarik's Democratic counterpart in New York, Herman Farrell, was dismissive of the GOP leader's statements.

"The New York Republican Party is in shambles," the state Democratic chairman said. "You are broke and fighting among yourselves. Governor (George) Pataki's popularity ratings have sunk to record lows. In the last decade, you have lost seats in both houses in Albany, both houses in Washington, statewide and in counties across the state.

"Come back to us after you have won a few races," Farrell added...."

A toast to Mr. Farrell...that is how you do it.
