Just Do As He Says… Don’t Do As He Does

Howard Hypocrite Dean just keeps digging himself deeper
…and deeper…
…and deeper into inevitable self-destruction.
Recently, he called on George W. Bush to release his gubernatorial records, promising to release his own once Bush unseal his. Dean, a man not of his word, still refused to unseal his records.
Hypocrite.
Once again, Dean’s hypocrisy is exploding in his face…
Democratic presidential contender Howard Dean has demanded release of secret deliberations of Vice President Dick Cheney’s energy task force. But as Vermont governor, Dean had an energy task force that met in secret and angered state lawmakers.
Oooooh… Is this a Dean-Double-Standard?
In 1999, Dean offered the same argument the Bush administration uses today for keeping deliberations of a policy task force secret.
“The governor needs to receive advice from time to time in closed session. As every person in government knows, sometimes you get more open discussion when it’s not public,” Dean was quoted as saying.
Oh, I see, for the governor of Vermont (who happens to have been Howard Dean in this instance) it is okay… but it’s not okay if you’re Dick Cheney (who happens to be George W. Bush’s Vice President in this instance)
Howard Dean is a pathetic little man. Read the whole article. Just read how Howard Dean bumble out excuse after excuse…
“We had a much more open process than Cheney’s process. We named the people we sought advice from in our final report.”
“Some advice does have to be given in private, but I don’t mind letting people know who gave that advice,”
While Dean finds every ridiculous thing under the sun to make a difference between his secret meetings and Cheney secret meetings – there isn’t much to differentiate the two… in fact, the article mentions various parallels between Dean’s secret meetings and Cheney’s:
Dean and Cheney both:
…declined to open their deliberations, even under pressure from legislators.
…received input from the energy industry in private meetings.
…released the names of task force members publicly.
While Dean’s group volunteered the names of those it consulted with in its final report, Cheney refused to formally give out a list, but his aides have divulged the names of many of those who were consulted.
Sorry Howard Dean, you are a hypocrite, and we can see right through you.
I hope Howard Dean wins the nomination…he’ll be fun to destroy in the general election.
