As reported by the UBER conservative Boston Globe:
Howard Dean, chairman of the Democratic National Party, said yesterday that the US House majority leader, Tom DeLay, ''ought to go back to Houston where he can serve his jail sentence," referring to allegations of unethical conduct against the Republican leader.
Dean's remark, in a speech to Massachusetts Democrats at their party convention, drew an immediate rebuke from US Representative Barney Frank, the Newton Democrat and one of DeLay's harshest critics. ''That's just wrong," Frank said in an interview on the convention floor. ''I think Howard Dean was out of line talking about DeLay. The man has not been indicted. I don't like him, I disagree with some of what he does, but I don't think you, in a political speech, talk about a man as a criminal or his jail sentence."
DeLay faces accusations he may have violated House rules by taking foreign trips paid for by lobbyists. In a separate case, a Texas grand jury indicted three fund-raisers with ties to DeLay on accusations of campaign-finance irregularities.
Now Howard Dean wants to be not only the President, but judge jury and executioner as well! I thought there was a little thing in this country called 'Innocent until proven guilty'? Guess not for the screamer of the DNC!
But you know you have gone too far when Barney Frank (who last agreed with a conservative when the doctor smacked him on the butt) has to chastise you! But that is not the best part. For in the very same speech, right after trying, judging and condeming an innocent man, he complained about the following:
"this ugly, nasty dialogue that is coming from the right wing of the American Republican Party."
Ummmm, hey howie. Those 3 fingers are pointed back at you!
