HOWARD DEAN SAYS, "BAR THE PRESS"

What are the Democratic Presidential candidates afraid of?

The head of the Democratic Party said Wednesday that the best way to get presidential candidates to talk frankly about issues is to lock out the media.

During the Mortgage Bankers Association conference, a banker expressed frustration with candidates who only talk in sound bites and wondered how that could be changed. Howard Dean, once a presidential candidate, offered a simple solution.

"I suggest you have candidates in to meetings like this and bar the press," Dean said.

What an idiot Dean is. Doesn't he think before he opens his mouth? I love the guy. He's good for our side.

Anyway, my suggestion to Dean is, and this is only offered because I know it will never get back to him, instead of barring the press, he ought to try taking the press down to the bar.

That they love, or so I hear.
