Why Dean Got Hit on Israel

The pregame buzz among the reporters gathered to watch last night's Baltimore debate was whether Ron Fournier's story would produce any fireworks.

Fournier, a dogged AP reporter, had slipped into a story last week something that a number of reporters had heard Howard Dean say to supporters in New Mexico but did not report: that the United States should not "take sides" in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Since Fournier used the quote in the 28th paragraph, there wasn't much reaction until Sunday, when Joe Lieberman's campaign called the AP to issue a statement slamming the former Vermont governor. John Kerry jumped in on Monday.

1. Governor Dean will survive this, but Howie the Ho will forever be known

as a beltway whore, par excellence.

2. kurtz the putz's post earlier in the week was even worse

he opened with wondering if the democratic candidates could jive their anti-bush stance vis-a vis iraq with their congressional votes for support of necessary actions in iraq, and NEVER mentioned that that these men had been lied to about WMD and a host of other things by the busheviks before they cast their votes.

kurtz just implied that the candidates were hypocrites without placing the events then and now in context.

i wanted to vomit after reading his spin on the topic.

it was a real hatchet job, devoid of any journalistic integrity

3. He is even worse than you
