First, he wanted to "be the candidate for guys with Confederate flags in their pickup trucks."
Then after the other Donks rapped his knuckles, he's feeling "their" pain:
One day after his Democratic presidential rivals demanded he apologize for his remarks, which they called offensive to blacks and southern whites, Dean for the first time expressed remorse. "I regret the pain that I may have caused either to African American or southern white voters," he said in New York. What he had hoped to do, Dean said, was provoke a "painful" dialogue about race among all voters, including those displaying confederate flags. But, he said, "I started this discussion in a clumsy way."And now to unclumsy it, he's complaining about Southerners:
Democratic presidential candidate Howard Dean told a Tallahassee audience today that southerners have to quit basing their votes on "race, guns, God and gays."Howie must be one of those pesky city folks that just plain doesn't know when to shut up.
Howie! Stand up straight! Try breathing deeply and slowly. And then y'all don't come back now, hear!
