It's an old story for acclaimed "metrosexual" candidate Howard Dean -- Open Mouth, Insert Foot:
"I still want to be the candidate for guys with Confederate flags in their pickup trucks," the former Vermont governor was quoted as saying in Saturday's Des Moines Register. "We can't beat George Bush unless we appeal to a broad cross-section of Democrats."
Say, Yankee boy, don't you know them's fightin' words, at least among the Northeastern-elite-style Democrats?
"I don't want to be the candidate for guys with Confederate flags in their pickup trucks," Gephardt said in a statement. "I will win the Democratic nomination because I will be the candidate for guys with American flags in their pickup trucks."Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts contended that Dean's "pandering" to the National Rifle Association gave him an inroad to "pander to lovers of the Confederate flag."
Will the Democrats be as quick with the BUSH = NAZI attack if their frontrunner has to face the DEAN = KLAN counterprotest? What will that clever governor of Vermont come up with next? Maybe he'll appeal to all of the bomb-throwers of the sixties ... oh, wait, he's already doing that. Never mind.
