John Edwards: Howard Dean "is not the Spokesman" for the Downtrodden Party
The Downies are starting to jockey for positions, estimating the damage that Howard Dean does day by day as chairman of the Downtrodden National Committee. Some secretly admit that Dean is a disaster as chairman, as many feared - but some are starting to come right out and say the unthinkable. A few weeks back, when Dean said that House Majority Leader Tom DeLay should "just go back to Texas and serve his jail term," extreme liberal Barney Frank, no friend of Republicans, came out and said that Dean's comments were reprehensible. So now, former Senator and former Downie VP candidate John Edwards (where did he disappear to?) has coyly intimated that Dean "is not the spokesman" for his party:
Edwards Still Undecided on '08 Presidential Bid
Now, Dean is the chairman of the Downtrodden Party. He is essentially the voice of the party. If one of the leading Downies for the 2008 nomination says that the chairman of the party is not the voice of the party, then who is? Bullwinkle?
Can we all say "the Downies are now rudderless"?

Edwards said he disagreed with Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean's comment Thursday that many Republicans had "never made an honest living in their lives."
Edwards said: "The chairman of the DNC is not the spokesman for the party. He's a voice. I don't agree with it."
