"...As for the comments made by Al Sharpton and John Edwards about Dean, I recognize cheap political opportunism when I see it. Howard Dean mentioned the Confederate flag without falling to his knees and begging forgiveness for doing so. Instead of defending Dean's completely benign remark, these guys piled on. Good news, guys. George W. Bush can save some of his campaign war chest this week. You've done as much damage to the Democratic cause as Bush's henchmen could have hoped to. If you listen closely, you can hear Bush's people laughing at you. As for me, I'm just trying to keep my dinner down.

Dr. Dean, here's a little advice: Remember your bedside manner. Don't apologize for anything in the future, even if it is a real gaff. It makes you look weak and un-presidential. To every candidate who took a shot at Dean over his remarks, you had better decide whether you would risk four more years of George W. Bush in the White House just to finish ahead of Howard Dean in a couple of primaries...."
