Showing Some Spine

Howard Dean is in town stumping for a couple of local pols. I have no idea why he'd care. Perhaps he misses the limelight. I've been waiting for him to get fat and grow a beard now that he has no job. One thing hasn't changed, though - give the guy a podium and he's ready to rant:

"The president needs to apologize to John Kerry and to every veteran in America," Dean said. "I hope he shows a little of the spine that Sen. Kerry showed 30 years ago in Vietnam."

Dean showed some spine himself. He walked into his physical with an x-ray of it to get a deferment, then spent the war skiing. Let's have a white feather for Howard, for old time's sake.
