Howard Dean on Politically Direct

[mojogeorgo]

Howard Dean was interviewed on Air America's Politically Direct yesterday afternoon. I have the first part of the interview posted at Howard-Empowered People, and am working on Part 2.

Bender: But Governor, 82% of the American people, when the Abramoff scandal broke, the question was asked, "Is this unusual or is this the way government works?" And 82% came back and said "This is business as usual, no matter who's in power." How do you change that perception?

Dean: Well, I think they're actually telling the truth. I mean, part of the problem is that the RNC, the Republican National Committee is *much* better at propaganda than we are. And part of the problem, frankly, is the media is lazy as all get-out. I can't tell you how many times I've seen the media write that Democrats were involved in taking Abramoff money. That is simply a lie! Nor did he direct any money to any Democrats. But you wouldn't believe the mainstream newspapers that print that crap. It just is astonishing to me that the reporters won't get off their butts and look at the truth.

1. Thanks. Why can't the Senate Dems talk like that? NO SPINE

Dr. Dean still can't seem to transplant some spine into them--even though he has led by example.
