Something else to thank Howard Dean for last night
The episode has been noted here about a litle dust-up after Joe Scarborough referred to Hillary Clinton as part of the "far left" of the Democratic Party on MSNBC.

When I heard that -- and heard it initially go unchallenged -- I literally yelped because it was so misleading.

But then Howard stepped in and immediately challenged that characterization.

I was so grateful to Dean for that. It shows that he REALLY GETS I. A big part of what we must do is correct the political definitions, so that a corporate centrist like Hillary is not defined as the "far left" of the political spectrum.
