2. Gov. Howard Dean on Nightline on ABC n/t

[bettyellen]

3. nightline w/ koppel 5 min ago EST

[cry baby]

4. Dr. Dean is going to be on Nightline, and I assume he is on

right now in the eastern time zone.

5. Howie is doing great as usual! A pattern of corruption!

Not the first time DeLay is in trouble, it's the fourth! Also talking aobut Abramoth, and where there's smoke there's fire!

[Tamyrlin79]

8. I was thinking "Say 'where there's smoke, there's fire'"

Howard Dean must have read my mind, cause I was all like "YES!!! Go Howard"

It was a good way of putting it in terms anyone watching could understand. He put all the scandals together to prove that there was plenty of smoke, and saying that it implied fire, even if you couldn't see the flame was the PERFECT frame for suggesting guilt in this instance.

6. Now he isn't on. Did a good job, though. Stuck to the message

Promised serious ethics reform in '06 that 'gets tough on everybody'.

[ShockediSay]

11. Dean was Supreme! Said a few well chosen words about

what Americans are sick of getting out of BushCo.

Indicated that real reform was coming down the pike, and NOT just against the Repugnantkins.

Please, Dr Dean, make it happen; and so I pray.

7. Shoot.....

I just got the tale end of it.I liked what he had to say. We need him on ALL the talk shows,he tells it like it is. He's not afraid of the repukes,he is the Democrat's "hammer".

[napi21]

10. I'd love to see him on all the shows too, but please don't use the

term hammer! There is absolutely NO comparison between Howard and DeLay!!!!!

[nankerphelge]

9. Very good....

He didn't take the bait when asked if the indictment was good news for democrats. He said he thought it was bad news for the country.

[cynatnite]

13. That was an excellent answer n/t

[Cha]

14. Thanks for that..I saw the

this thread that Dean was going to be on and I got there too late. Nightline was just closing up shop.

Dean is really getting his words right when they ask him loaded questions.

"Bad News for the country" is perfect!

[patricia92243]

15. An indictment bad news for the country??? It seems like good news to me.

Good to have even one crook removed. Hope DeLay will be the first f many Bush friends to be taken to task.

12. Dean did an excellent job

Handling the question "Is this good for the Democrats"

His answer was (paraphrasing) "No, it's not good for the country. We've been embarrassed by the blunder in Iraq, we've been embarrassed by the Katrina response and now we have to be embarrassed with this serious case of corruption... this isn't Tom Delay's first, second or third time he's been in trouble, it's his FOURTH and in each time, his peers in Congress have found him guilty. Americans are sick of the pattern of corruption and when we get back power in 2006, we're going to fix some serious problems with the rules of politics..."
