Howard Dean lives in a bad sitcom. I’m positive of this. When Dean says or does something absurd, a laugh track must go off. Case in point, the new DNC ad.
Yes, Howard Dean and the DNC are running an ad on a premise that has been repeatedly discredited.
*insert laugh track here*

Promises from the left of a decent and honorable campaign so far are coming up short. Comments from Obama surrogates stating that Senator McCain is war monger and that his military experience shows that he doesn’t care about people are far from the ‘new politics’ that Senator Obama promises. The left has been crying dirty pool for the last eight years, and now their the ones with a pool cue in their hand. There’s always a challenge when candidates have other people speak for them, but it you compare the two sides Senator McCain is seriously out-classing the Democrats. When supporters were repeatedly using Senator Obama’s middle name, the McCain campaign told them to stop. When a radio host introducing him at an event went on a rant against Senator Obama, Senator McCain condemned it angering some conservatives. When a McCain blogger posted video about the Jeremiah Wright controversy, he was suspended from the campaign.
The Democrats on the other hand have their leader, Howard Dean, making personal attacks calling Senator McCain an opportunist. This is an attack which is both personal and baseless. The liberal blog The Atlantic posted an admittedly unsubstatiated article that was a direct personal attack on the Senator. The Democrats have accepted and embraced political dirty pool. If this trend continues, and if America is truly seeking a more decent and respectful style of politics Senator McCain has shown himself to be the leader bringing this change.

For someone that is allegedly a blatant opportunist, Roxana Tiron at The Hill has an article discussing how John McCain refuses to use Jimmy and Jack McCain’s military service for political gain. One of the more common attacks on the current Bush Administration is that the prominent members of the Administration have not served in the military and do not have children that serve.
That is not a line of attack that the Democrats can use this November (although, with Obama and Dean’s disdain for the facts, they might try) on John McCain. However, Senator McCain does not want to use his children as political pawns in this election, not does he want to endanger them and the men that serve with them.
“He feels very uncomfortable. He does not want Jimmy and his comrades to be put at any risk,” said Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), McCain’s closest ally and friend in the Senate.
“I know that John McCain is very proud of his son’s service and he talked to me about it many times, but he is certainly not going to exploit it for political purposes,” Collins said.
So no, Mr. Dean, John McCain is not a blatant opportunist. If you are so desperate to find someone worthy of that tag, perhaps you should look in the mirror.

As proud I’m sure Howard Dean is of his ridiculously chopped and edited “McCain vs McCain” cartoon, Jake Tapper has a column that shows how the Screamer has a….nuanced opinion of American national defense
Dean released this statement today in response to John McCain’s television ad.
In response, Democratic National Committee chairman Howard Dean issued a statement, saying, “John McCain can try to reintroduce himself to the country, but he can’t change the fact that he cast aside his principles to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with President Bush the last seven years. While we honor McCain’s military service, the fact is Americans want a real leader who offers real solutions, not a blatant opportunist who doesn’t understand the economy and is promising to keep our troops in Iraq for 100 years.”
Contrast that with Howard Dean, circa 2004
“The real issue is this,” Dean said in March 2004, when endorsing formal rival Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., “Who would you rather have in charge of the defense of the United States of America, a group of people who never served a day overseas in their life, or a guy who served his country honorably and has three Purple Hearts and a Silver Star on the battlefields of Vietnam?”
So what is it, Dean-o? Do we want to decorated and courageous, decorated war veteran in charge of our defense, or the man who offers “real solutions” like a playdate with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad?
