HOWARD DEAN IS JUST A NUT: How else to explain his latest eruption:

"The president and his right-wing Supreme Court think it is 'okay' to have the government take your house if they feel like putting a hotel where your house is."

First, Bush hasn't put anyone on the court. Second, it was the conservative justices (Rehnquist, Scalia, Thomas, and O'Connor) who dissented in Kelo vs. New London. Third, it's the court's liberals who think there's a "constitutional" basis for a municipality to take private property for the economic advantage of a private company. Fourth, look for Hillary and Bill to begin quietly orchestrating Dean's removal as DNC chair, to be replaced by someone with sympathies for Hillary's latest makeover as a centrist. Fifth, Dean won't go easily or quietly. Sixth, aren't train wrecks fun to watch, especially in slow motion?
