WASHINGTON - Howard Dean is "over the top," Vice President Dick Cheney says, calling the Democrats' chairman "not the kind of individual you want to have representing your political party."
"I've never been able to understand his appeal. Maybe his mother loved him, but I've never met anybody who does. He's never won anything, as best I can tell," Cheney said in an interview to be aired Monday on Fox News Channel's "Hannity & Colmes."
Dean was elected governor of Vermont five times between 1992 and 2000.

Why does he blatently lie all the time? Like the time he said he never met Edwards before the debates, or that Saddam was a threat. Is he just used to no one holding him accountible? Hubris?

Basically...
All Dean said was that the republicans were "pretty much" a white christian party, apparently this truth enrages Cheney so much that he's talking about Dean's momma! Someone hit a nerve methinks.

Although Cheney is not the brightest around I don't think too much of Dean either. As far as labeling one party as "all white, all christian", that is just good old fashioned mud slinging that most intelligent folks can see through. The democrats have their share of problems and should not be so quick to through stones while sitting in a glass house of their own.

I wonders how Hillary Clinton feels about Dean's ranting about the Republicans, considered that it was her father, a big-time Republican, worked hard all his life to put a roof over Hillary's head, feed her and gave money for her advanced schooling. If it hasn't been for her father, Hillary Rodham would be just another Goldwater girl who would never meet Bill Clinton, be his wife, mother, First Lady, a Senator and a potential Presidential candidate in 2008.
Funny, how things turned out for Hillary.

Howard Dean is keeping himself in the news with his vitriol. Shifting the attention to Dick Cheney is a cheap and tawdry attempt to make Dean look like a victim.

Shifting the attention to Dick Cheney? How? By forcing him in front of a Fox News Crew and torturing him until he gives up confession about his true feelings about Howard Dean on national television?
Cheap and tawdry, yes... but not Dean.

Dean's recent remarks drew a rebuke from Vice President Dick Cheney in an interview to be aired Monday on Fox News Channel's "Hannity & Colmes," according to the Associated Press.
Cheney called Dean "over the top" and "not the kind of individual you want to have representing your political party," according to the Associated Press.
Asked by a reporter Sunday to reply to Cheney's criticisms, Dean said: "My view is that Fox News is a propaganda outlet of the Republican Party and that I don't comment on Fox News." The response drew applause from the room.
Although the act is permanent, and the right to vote is protected by the 15th Amendment, certain provisions of the act were extended in 1982 and those parts expire in 2007 unless Congress re-authorizes the measure. These provisions include ones that ensure non-English speaking voters get assistance at polling places and another that requires jurisdictions with segregationist pasts to submit changes in election law to the U.S. Justice Department for approval.
The coalition is organizing a march and rally supporting renewal of some of the law's provisions on Aug. 6 in Atlanta, where President Lyndon Johnson signed the law 40 years ago. The group is leading a signature drive calling for the renewal of the act. Jackson said he plans to give President Bush a petition with 1 million signatures.
