Dean's craziness
Oh, come on.
The man's a doctor, for heaven's sake. Do his patients think he's crazy?
Can you imagine that if there were anything in his career that suggested Dean was crazy, that the Republicans wouldn't have spread the word by now?
Here's what makes Dean crazy:
Yep, to the Republicans, the MWs, the Heathers, and the millionaire reporters of the SCLM, all these ideas are "crazy."
Especially the last one.
This reminds me of nothing so much as the state of psychiatry under the Soviet Union, where dissidents were locked up in the psychiatric wards. Anyone who dared to suggest that the Emperor has no clothes: They must be crazy! And so with our own state-run media.

Here's what makes Dean crazy:
- Universal health insurance
- Civil unions
- Calling it right on the war, and saying so
- Making an endrun round the Beltway Dems
- Ending his speeches with "You have the power"!
