Dean Calls Uproar a 'Diversion'
----------------------
Thursday, June 09, 2005

WASHINGTON — Democratic Party Chairman Howard Dean said Thursday that the recent controversy over his comments isn't going to stop congressional Democrats from focusing on issues like Social Security, gas prices and the war in Iraq.

"You know, I think a lot of this is exactly what the Republicans want, and that's a diversion," Dean said after meeting with Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid (search) about the Democrats' agenda for the next few weeks of Congress. "The truth is that we need to focus on exactly the issues that Harry Reid just talked about, and we're going to."

"We haven't had any discussions about what's going on in the media circus and all that stuff in the last two weeks," Dean said. "What we're focused on is how to have a decent Social Security (search) system, how to have a strong national defense, how to have jobs in America again, how to deal with incredibly high gas prices and get a decent energy bill which actually will do something about gas prices."

Reid has been criticized for making strong comments as well, including calling President Bush a "loser" and a "liar." Reid apologized for the former.

When asked if he had any advice for Dean, Reid said: "Well, I think, as all of you know, that there isn't a single person" among Democrats or Republicans, "that haven't misspoken."
