He called the Bush administration more corrupt than Nixon when he spoke at the New England Press Association earlier yesterday. He did it again last night.

On the one-year anniversary of being named chairman of the Democratic National Committee, the former presidential candidate let loose with a verbal barrage aimed at his favorite targets — President George Bush and the Republican Party.
Dean didn't waste any time trying to link the president to the corruption scandal swirling around Washington lobbyist Jack Abramoff. Although Bush said he doesn't remember ever meeting Abramoff, recent reports have disputed that claim.
"Not only does he have pictures together, but the president appears to know the names of all (Abramoff's) children and he's been out to the ranch," Dean said, drawing laughter and applause from the partisan crowd.
Dean went on to say that since Libby was authorized by his "superiors" to give out classified information, that it would put Cheney in the category of people that Bush said he would fire.
