But Will Stalin Agree To Help?
Howard Dean strikes me as a guy who guzzles copious quantities of coffee and covers his body in nicotine patches while still smoking three packs a day. He always has that borderline psychotic look; as if he's about to simultaneously lose control of his temper, bladder and bowels. Dean's about-to-come-unglued nature usually results in the former Vermont governor babbling weird remarks long before his brain is able to discern the validity of it all.
That's good news for those of us who appreciate the entertainment value of Democrats-behaving-like-fucking-idiots. In this regard, there's rarely a day Dean fails to deliver.
And Dean delivered in a big way last night on MSNBC's
Hardball, as
BOTW notes today. When asked how he would deter Iran from developing nukes, The Spaz offered this answer:
The key, I believe, to Iran, is pressure through the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union is supplying much of the equipment that Iran I believe mostly likely is using to set itself along the path of developing nuclear weapons. We need to use that leverage with the Soviet Union, and it may require us buying the equipment the Soviet Union was ultimately going to sell to Iran, to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons.
Spaz, take your Ritalin! The Soviet Union hasn't existed for over a decade!
Perhaps it was just a slip of the tongue.
Or, considering Dean's politics, maybe it was wishful thinking.
