GOV DEAN: With Katrina - We Saw A President Descend Into Failure

[kpete]

On CNN with Wolfie - 2:15 pm (PST)

Gov Dean (kpete: typing while listening)

{i]This president is in deep trouble, although I have to say that the issue that really got him in trouble was Katrina.

I think the response to Katrina was the end of his presidency

In the sense that the people saw the small man behind the curtain

Americans thought we could fix anything

For the first time in our lifetime, we saw a president descend into failure and I don't think he's recovered from that.

1. lol...I love this line by Dean

"In the sense that the people saw the small man behind the curtain"

4. I know! I heard that too! I loved Dean when he was a candidate,

but I have to admit, he keeps getting better and better! Notice how he doesn't let the host get away with the interruptions anymore!

[AlamoDemoc]

5. Indeed. He's truly getting better and better at it at every interview

2. Damn. I love Howard Dean. n/t

3. "small man behind the curtain." Oh yes.

How very true.

6. "Descend into failure" assumes

that * was ever NOT a failure.

7. Check out the video and transcript clips from Al Rodgers.

He does such a great job at getting stuff up in a hurry.

Here's some of the best quotes Al captured.

"On George Felix Allen, Jr

"I served with George Allen when he was Governor. I don't think he belongs in public service. There are Republicans who are capable and smart, thoughtful people, and he's not one of them. "

On Sore Loserman

"Ned Lamont is a Democrat. But Joe is the past and I think we need a new direction in this country and it's not just the Lieberman Lamont race. It's all over the country. People are looking for a new direction for the country. "

On McCain's Phoniness

"You know how everybody leaves the ship once it heads in the wrong direction. McCain was a huge booster of the war until now I guess things are getting hot in the kitchen, so he decided to get out. "

On Shrub's "Press Conference"

"You don't make a permanent commitment to a failed policy. "

On Gooper Sanity

"I don't pretend to know what goes on inside Senator McCain's mind or the President. "

Bush is a sorry excuse for a man.
