Dean Rhetoric of Biblical Proportions
Note: Audio problems garbled some portions of Dean's speech rendering them difficult to understand. Those passages are highlighted in bold below.
In a scorching rebuke of Republicans and conservatives in general before an auditorium full of students in Tennessee, DNC Chairman, Howard Dean said, " I've been called worse things than a liberal. The reason the Republicans call names is because they have nothing to say about balancing the budget, creating jobs or doing anything about health care or education. Well, I'm rubber and they're glue, if you get my meaning, people!''
The former Governor then went on to say:
''We need to talk about values and not be afraid of pictures, videos or even policies and votes from our past that show we don't much adhere to them them,'' he said, going on to make two biblical references.
In the first he said Jesus' directive to ''love thy neighbor'' didn't mean one could choose which ones to love. He then remarked that Republicans never brought up the scriptural verse ... "it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter heaven".
Then in a memorable display, Dean opened a zipper he recently had installed in his head and proceeded to pass his brain through the eye of a needle for the mostly stoned crowd. "That was freakin' awesome," said an on looker, as Dean assured those in attendance that by listening closely to their college instructors they too could one day hope to accomplish the amazing feet.
"I might not be able to get my whole body through there just yet," said Dean. But, trust me, I am working on that."

This squares with my view that Dean went into the 2004 campaign as small town thug Jack Napier and came out the other side as The Joker. The acid bath of reality rinsed the fragments of sanity and exposed the lunatic inside.
He has given a name to his pain, and it's The Republicans. He's glad they're dead. This town needs an enema, think about the future. This is all Deanomania.
