The particulars from 1/8/2006 with Wolf Blitzer:
- On Judge Alito: "I don't think we want scandal to begin to touch the Supreme Court."
- On Iraq War casualties, "80 percent of the torso injuries and fatalities in the Marine Corps could have been prevented." (I would think torso injuries are second only to head injuries in seriousness. I imagine being hit in either is a negative situation. Someone should tell Mr. Dean 'small arms' doesn't mean derringer pistols.)
- On POTUS "This president has lacked credibility almost from the day he took office because of the way he took office." Wasn't there a second election?
- "He's shown he's willing to abuse his power."
Clip of Joe Lieberman - "It's time for Democrats who distrust President Bush to acknowledge that he will be the commander-in-chief for three more critical years, and that, in matters of war, we undermine presidential credibility at our nation's peril."
- "I think, frankly, that Joe is absolutely wrong."
- On Latin America, "Look at what's happening in Latin America. This president, while saying that he wants to further democracy and capitalism, is driving people in the opposite direction." (This befuddled Blitzer: "Are you blaming the president on the elections in Bolivia or on the elections in Venezuela? Is that what you're saying?")
- On their electoral results, "We're getting something that I think most Americans wish we didn't have, which is left-leading regimes." He's finally right about something; Americans don't want left-leaning regimes.
- On Abramoff, "There are no Democrats who took money from Jack Abramoff, not one, not one single Democrat. Every person named in this scandal is a Republican. Every person under investigation is a Republican. Every person indicted is a Republican. This is a Republican finance scandal. There is no evidence that Jack Abramoff ever gave any Democrat any money. And we've looked through all of those FEC reports to make sure that's true." (When he eventually corrects himself, that 'we' will become him and the mouse in his pocket.)
- Blitzer's followup, "But through various Abramoff-related organizations and outfits, a bunch of Democrats did take money that presumably originated with Jack Abramoff."
- And Dean's lucid response, "That's not true either. There's no evidence for that either. There is no evidence..."
- On the GOP, "They haven't told the truth. They have misled the American people. And now it appears they're stealing from Indian tribes."
Howard Dean spits a lot of bull plop.
