Howard Dean an 'Embarrassment'

Howard Dean is such a tool. I find so much wrong with his comment that there's "a political angle in the heightened terror alert". Right, Dean...I think there's a political angle to your asinine comment, as usual.

How do morons like this make it to political office?

The radio and Hollywood, I understand. I mean, I truly started to understand ANYTHING in mass-media was possible with the continued success of such train wrecks as Anna Nicole Smith, Paris Hilton, Michael Jackson, etc..

But how do people the likes of Al Gore and Howard Dean and such hot-air spewing, blubbering idiots continue to stay in politics? Is the collective idiocy of actual voters much the same as those fools? Or is it because the never-ending stream of garbage that continually comes out of their mouths is like the proverbial fire hose; too much for the public to actually swallow?

"It is better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid than to open it and remove all doubt."
-- Mark Twain

Did you catch that quote, Mr. Dean? YAAAAARRRGGGGHH!

New York's Gov. George Pataki minced no words in an interview today, making his distaste for the political ramblings of Howard Dean quite clear.

On Fox News' "Your World," interviewer Stuart Varney started off asking the governor about the costs for all of the extra security being put in place in Manhattan due to the heightened threat level.

Pataki said that he and Mayor Bloomberg are in favor of having "more of the Homeland Security dollars allocated" per a threat-based analysis, rather than the current system of handing out money equally to localities, whether or not they are high-profile targets.

"President Bush has been supportive, Director Ridge has been supportive, and we hope that Congress will be as supportive," he said.

Varney then asked: "Can you tell us if there was any political angle in this heightened terror alert. ... Governor Dean says there is a political angle to it. What do you say?"

"Governor Dean is an embarrassment," retorted Pataki. "To me, it's quite clear that there is specific information - with specific targets - like we've never seen before."

He said that New York would always be a target, but New Yorkers are stronger than the terrorists and their threats.

Pataki does not expect New York to empty out for the Republican convention, as did Boston for the Democrats' event.

He quipped, "I hope New York City fills up. ... We're going to have tens of thousands of Republicans, and hundreds of thousands of protesters - it's going to be the most exciting place in America."
