Senator Durbin...Angry Beaver of the Week

Yes folks, itÕs that time againÉthe unveiling of the Angry Beaver of the Week. This weekÕs honor goes to Senate Minority Whip Richard J. Durbin, as he rushes to ScreaminÕ Howard DeanÕs defense over the DNC chairmanÕs recent explosive remarks.

"I think we all understand what's happening with you all," said Senate Minority Whip Richard J. Durbin, in remarks echoing Hillary Rodham Clinton's blaming a "vast right-wing conspiracy" for her husband's legal-ethical woes.

"The right wing has got the agenda moving. Fox [News Channel] and everybody's got the agenda. It's all about Howard Dean. You've bought into it," Mr. Durbin said.

Uh huhÉsure. WeÕve bought into it. Just what have we bought into, Mr. Durbin?

Who is the one who has been shouting Òevil,Ó Òbrain-dead,Ó Òcorrupt,Ó and ÒliarsÓ regarding the Republicans lately? Did Karl Rove somehow possess DeanÕs body and force the words from his lips? Is it the RepublicansÕ fault that Dean is incapable of civil political discourse?

Maybe Dean has Tourette's syndrome. That'll be the Republicans' fault as well...Karl Rove might have put something in Dean's water glass.

When even high-profile Democrats such as Nancy Pelosi and John Edwards do their best to distance themselves from DeanÕs vitriol, then that's news!

DeanÕs inability to control his public comments about the competition is reflecting badly on the Democrats. That, and no clear-cut rebuttals to Republican policies, are part of the reason for the decline of the DemocratsÕ political clout.

If the Dems canÕt control their party chairman, how do they expect to gain control of the Senate and, ultimately, the White House?

So keep on playing the blame game, Senator DurbinÉit only serves to make the Democrats look more and more foolish as time marches on.
