Blogging will be brief b/c I'm currently on a biz trip in a land far far away.  BUT, this was just too crazy to pass up-

During a meeting Friday with the Democratic black caucus, Dean praised black Democrats for their work for the party, then questioned Republicans' ability to rally support from minorities.

"You think the Republican National Committee could get this many people of color in a single room?," Dean asked to laughter. "Only if they had the hotel staff in here."

His style ever will be blunt: "We have to never be afraid to say what we believe," he insists.

As usual, one can only imagine the uproar if a Republican ever said anything even CLOSE to this.
