Howard the Duck alert!
Deborah Orin's NY Post article, Dean Machine Makes Mincemeat of Routed Rivals, has the latest on Howie's Hijinks including this gem:
All of which has rivals desperately seeking a "silver bullet" to shock Dem activists into thinking twice about Dean - who does have some awkward points in his record as Vermont governor.

Like his lousy relations with America's beloved heroes - the firefighters. The Vermont firefighters union claims Dean gave them short shrift because he didn't join their push for firefighter survivors benefits or safety laws on items such as smoke detectors, left them off a post-Sept. 11 task force and rarely consulted them.

Team Dean hit back by highlighting his role as "national advocate against sparklers."
There's a bold position for you!
