Democans/Republicrats...

The Maryland GOP posted the following in response to Howard Dean's appearance on Meet the Press yestersay:

Maryland Republican Party Chairman John M. Kane called on Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean to issue a retraction and apologize for his comments on Sunday’s nationally televised program “Meet the Press.” During his appearance with Tim Russert, Dean made a false statement regarding Chairman Kane and failed to apologize for his party’s attacks on Lt. Governor Michael Steele.

“Howard Dean made a damaging and slanderous statement yesterday on NBC’s ‘Meet the Press,’ which I view as defamation of my character. Dean’s comment was wholely incorrect and I am personally distressed that the Chair of the DNC would state mistruths on a national program. I am demanding that Howard Dean promptly apologize to me for his slanderous comment,” Kane stated.

I'll wait for the filing of Mr. Kane's slander and defamation lawsuit. Until such time as that occurs, I'll just conclude that the phony "outrage" represents nothing more than political rhetoric designed to confuse simple minds into thinking that the Democrat and Republican parties are different and in competition with one another.
