I just can't stomach the man, and I think he's a dishonest hypocrite. I used to just think that I was projecting the nastiness of his supporters onto him, but I think he encourages it - he fucking paid off Kos, who is one of the most petty and noxious "left-wing" bloggers out there, so I can't just let him off the hook.

He makes supporting the DNC really hard for me. I WANT to - I've been a Democrat as long as I can rememeber. But Jesus, if you go to democrats.org it seems like every other link is some spewing self-congratulatory press release about Dean's latest adventure. I certainly don't think McAuliffe, for all his faults, made the DNC all about HIM, and he shouldn't. Being DNC chairman isn't about YOU - it's about the party. Dean's just an egocentric glory hog and his taking credit for Hackett's performance ("this proves that my 50 state strategy works!") was the latest example. If we win gains in 2006, of course, the fact that people now realize what a dumbfuck Bush is won't be taken into account - ALL credit will be given to Dean, which is a load of bullshit, since 75% of the American people don't even know who Dean is, except perhaps peripherally.

*SIGH* - okay, :rant: over.
