Dean | Dean is Back on the Offensive

Emboldened b the recent accusation from Paul O'Neill, Dean is once again reminding the public ... especially Iowa that he was the first to stand up against George W. Bush. From CNN:

"Remember who stood up to George Bush first," Dean said.

"It wasn't anybody from the ... city of Washington, D.C.," he said, referring to fellow candidates Sen. John Edwards, Sen. John Kerry and Rep. Dick Gephardt.

At a stop Monday in Mount Pleasant, Iowa, Dean pressed his attacks, saying he was going on the offensive against his Democratic rivals. "I'm tired of being the pin cushion here." (CNN Election Express line dispatch)

"I think this race is about someone who is willing to stand up to George Bush all the time, not just six weeks before the Iowa caucuses," Dean said. "I ask Iowans again to support me in this caucus because I'll stand up for what's right in Washington."

Dean said. “I ask Iowans again to support me in this caucus because I’ll stand up for what’s right in Washington.”

Why doesn’t he just ‘sit down and shut up for what’s right in America’ ?
