Reply #38: As much as I agree with Barney...he should shut up about it

[zulchzulu]

Yes, Howard made a comment that will be forever misconstrued by the Usual Suspects ad nauseum. Dean could have said it "smoother"...but actually he made his point.

I also understand Barney Frank's view that at this time when DeLay is about to be ousted that perhaps the DNC Chair should just do his job and fundraise (and not give any ammunition to the Usual Suspects to change the subject), Barney would have bettered served the message by NOT commenting on Dean's speech.

Dean's rant probably worked well toward gets funds for the Democrats. Barney, let these stay under the radar...drawing attention to some of Howard's more fiery statements only makes matters worse.
