OUTRAGEOUS

I have become so used to the insanity and craziness that comes from the Democratic Presidential nominees, that I am now missing the important sanity indicators. Last week, I had heard that Howard had said the most interesting theory on 9/11 was that President Bush had been warned before the attack by the Saudi’s, but didn't give it any thought.

Howard, what in the Hell is that?

No, seriously, let’s sit back, take a deep breath and think about that. The Democratic Presidential front runner has given credence to the thought that President Bush allowed the murder of 3,000 people to happen. He, for some reason, abdicated his responsibility to the people of the United States and allowed thousands of civilians to be killed. Probably for Halliburton.

Now, of course, the Dean campaign won’t comment further upon the incident. Neither will the rest of the Democrats running for President. The head of the New Hampshire Democratic Party says,

“It doesn’t sound like really that much to talk about. He said this was ‘one of the theories.’ He didn’t say it was a good theory, or a legitimate theory or that the theory had any credence to it.”

Oh. He was just discussing a theory, so that makes it OK. As long as you don’t explicitly endorse a theory, you’re safe from criticism. Imagine if we had an exchange like this:

Chris Mathews: Why do you think we see nothing of Howard Dean’s wife? Wouldn’t you think if your husband was the front runner for the Presidential nomination, you would want to be with him to help him deal with the campaign, stress, etc?

President Bush: Well, I can’t say why she chooses to remain so far in the background as to be anonymous, I know I was sure happy to have Laura with me. One of the most interesting theories I have heard – and is no proof that this is true – is that Howard dean is a wife beater.

I’m sure the Democrats wouldn’t be phased by it because he was only discussing a theory, he wasn’t saying it was true.

And Barbra Streisand would leave her estate to the RNC, too.
