MORE HOWARD (MOE HOWARD?)

I watched all of five minutes worth of This Week with George Stephanapolapolous. They were doing a story about Howard Dean on the campaign trail and I learned two interesting things.

1. Commenting on Dick Gephardt’s broadside last week, Howie said he was, “disappointed in Dick” and said the attacks were, “pathetic politics of the past”. So what exactly do you mean here, Howard? That what people have done in the past has no relevance on the campaign? Does that mean you will stop talking about the War and tax cuts, being they are both in the past? Or do you mean only YOUR past? Or was this one of your famous nonsensical sound bites?

2. Howard also told Georgie that he was baptized a Roman Catholic, became an Episcopal and is now a Congregationalist. When asked how he became a Congregationalist, Howard said he left the Episcopal Church over a mile-and-a-half bike path. Even fawning George was confused by that. I have no other details, my mother-in-law turned off the TV at that point, but leaving your church over a bike path shows some serious convictions – NOT.
