Howard Dean wins the Moneyshot Quote of the Week

for this:

Dean's comment came as he recalled conditions at crowded Ohio polling stations last fall. He wondered who could expect voters to work all day and then stand in line for eight hours to vote. "Well, Republicans, I guess, can do that because a lot of them have never made an honest living in their lives," he said, drawing some surprised "oohs" from his audience.

I only have one thing to add:

YEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH !

Update: The People's Republic of Seabrook nails it, again.

Today's media doesn't get "Deep Throat"

After watching G. Gordon Liddy turn up on EVERY SINGLE TALK SHOW ON TELEVISION to provide his opinion of the revealing of "Deep Throat", W. Mark Felt, I am left to wonder if the MSM is even worth saving.

Watergate would have never happened if it hadn't been for thugs like Liddy. Yet we were forced to hear over and over again his sneering judgment of the man who helped save our democracy (just so Bush Incorporated could pillage it thirty years later). Go here to get to the "Daily Show" video where GOP moral titans Pat Buchanan and Bob Novak join Liddy in condemning DT for not keeping his mouth shut about the felonies committed by the Nixon administration.

My friend Prairie Weather has it exactly right:

Does anyone else believe that Mark Felt's "coming out" needs to be greeted in a way which encourages and gives additional attention, legitimacy and support, when necessary, to whistleblowers?

We were as scared about the possible demise of democracy in 1974 as we are in 2005. Are we prepared to honor government officials and reporters who speak truth to power?

Do we dare hope there are reporters out there right now who are putting together the information needed to restore our national self-respect?
