It seems that Howard Dean is taking heat from his own party for telling it
like it is (well, to some degree) about the Republican Party. I wouldn't be
surprised if he gets dumped within the year and replaced by some
milquetoast. I only wish that he was capable of coming up with the kinds of
words that George Galloway used against Christopher Hitchens or Eugene V.
Debs used against Teddy Roosevelt in 1918:

"This political pet of the plutocrats, this bogus reformer, this shrieking
charlatan, this raving mountebank, this crazy-horse of Oyster Bay ranch,
this blood and thunder prophet, this opera bouffe ghostdancer, this blatant
quack hero, this freak of froth and foam and buncombe, this nauseating
moralizer, this dysenteric scold, this chattering midwife and meddler and
all-around nuisance has buncoed the people long enough and they at last
know him for what he is, at least those of them who have mentality above a
shell-fish, and who can tell a jibbering fraud after he has exhibited
himself to them daily for a score of years."
