Dean and the NH Union Leader get their digs in...to each other.

I believe the Union Leader is pretty conservative and not fond of Howard Dean. This is a kind of enjoyable interchange, I think. Considering.

Howard Dean's party:Hanging LBJ around Bush's neck

"DEMOCRATIC National Committee Chairman Howard Dean, in Concord for a fundraiser on Wednesday, accused the Republican Party of being the party of fiscal irresponsibility. He has said that before, but this time the timing could not have been better. It was a day after President Bush signed a $286 billion transportation bill that was $30 billion higher than the amount he had pledged to veto."

"President Bush's signing of an atrocious transportation bill he had said he would veto leaves no doubt where he stands on federal spending. He's for it. Whatever claims Republicans might have had to being financially responsible have been shattered under the weight of the spending bills they have passed and President Bush has signed."

"You know what we need in this country," Dean asked on Wednesday? "Individual liberty and personal responsibility. The Republicans used to be the party of individual liberty and personal responsibility."

"It looks as if the Union Leader really is conservative they'll have to endorse the Democrats," Dean joked, before adding that he is not sure he would want our endorsement.

Well, governor, you don't have to worry about getting our endorsement. Some Republicans, however, do."

LOL, sounds like they might have trouble endorsing anyone.

1. The Union Leader endorsed Joe Lieberman in the Dem Primary

They are conservative, for sure.
