Next Dean attempted to equate a drop in a voter\u2019s 401(k) with the Bush tax cut. But the market tanked long before the cut, and has been rocketing up since! <\/line><BR\/> Russert also nailed him on calling for a &#8220;reduction in the rate of growth,&#8221; pointing out that Democrats always call that a &#8220;cut.&#8221; He likewise pointed out that Dean told a story about a young girl whose father had impregnated her, even though he knew that wasn\u2019t the case. All this was to make his case for parental notification on abortion. Dean has been hiding in blissful obscurity in Vermont. He\u2019s never had to defend a thing he said, so he doesn\u2019t have a prayer when faced with the facts &#8211; like his demand that we raise the Social Security retirement age to 70. Now he starts to sound foolish with things like saying his &#8220;I\u2019m sorry&#8221; to John <emphasize>F<\/emphasize>. Kerry wasn\u2019t an apology. <\/line><BR\/>Dean\u2019s political Hindenberg landing may have helped him with the far-out, wacko liberal base, but in terms of the mainstream population, it was a bomb of Dukakian proportions. He will suffer a McGovern-Mondale-scale loss if he faces Bush next year. These guys try to be Bill Clinton, but they can\u2019t pull it off! Clinton would\u2019ve bit his lower lip and called who ever reported this stuff a lying sack. Dean tried, and failed spectacularly. He may get the nomination based on performances like this, because he\u2019s up with Sharpton as the only candidate with a pulse.
