LOBOTOMISED IN VERMONT

James Carville on Howard Dean:

The Osama bin Laden thing is going to hurt him. There's no -- there's no excusing this ... there's something -- let's put it this way. He seems to -- he seems to not appreciate, as I said earlier, the glory of the unspoken thought ... I'm scared to death that this guy just says anything. And it just -- it feels like he's undergone some kind of a political lobotomy here.

No complimentary Crushies for Dean membership will be coming Carville's way.

UPDATE. Hugh Hewitt warns that Dean shouldn’t be misunderestimated:

What if Dean is smarter than people give him credit for being?

Nah.

Here's a joke: "What did the one lobotomized hack say to the other lobotomized hack...?"

Those Crushies for Dean, well, de gustibus.

Lucianne’s Aquilegia said it well:
============================
Look, Howard Dean's head is shaped like a thumb. Or, a big-toe.

I simply can't hear the voice of someone whose head is shaped like a digit, or a pied.

His head isn't a real man's head, it's a cartoonist's head. Maybe that's what makes him so mad .......... his head looks like a toe.

I'm with Hewitt. We don't need to take him seriously yet, but once the primaries are over and he is the nominee, we need to get medieval on his ass.

...once the primaries are over and he is the nominee, we need to get medieval on his ass.
And that's going to be easier than anything ever tried before.

This guy has buried himself already.

The media will tell the world how close the election will be and then be shocked and incredulous it was a landslide for Bush.

This provincial internationalist thick-necked thumb-headed crackerbarrel metrosexual, who is indeed not to be misunderestimated, was etched sharply by US Senator Zell Miller (Democrat) of Georgia:

“Clever and glib, but deep this Vermont pond is not.”

Clinton loyalist DNC chief Terry McAuliffe arranged for the current primary setup. Yep, it was a dangerous Clintonista experiment. Now Clintonstein’s Monster, possessed of a clever but shallow brain that the scheming Lords of Blythe & Rodham never intended to be thus skulled, wanders the countryside, leaves a trail of divisive & sidesplitting gaffes, & is marching back on the location of his creation. They may end up having to torch Demoncrat Castle in order to be rid of him.

Crushies? Are they those people who smash little animals for sexual gratification? I've heard about them.

Dang, Bruce, you made me spit on my monitor.

Bruce:

Small animals? Don't you mean gnomes?

Actually the real quote from Carville was:

"Master speaks without thinking, my precious ... master scares me ... Suaron will kill him and takes my precious ..."

Dems never cease to amaze me. How come every candidate claims to have the recipe for every thing wrong in the world (of course they first have to blam Bush for it)! If they are true patriotic Americans first and foremost, why don't they share their ideas...lets solve it together. Guess they are only willing to enlighten us after they're elected!

A toe! A cross between a toe and Lee Harvey Oswald....yeah.

Carville: What orders from the Eye, master?
Dean: One of the Republicans holds something of value....find it, and kill the one who carries it...
