Howard Dean Starts Syndicated Column

Howard Dean is writing a weekly column that's being syndicated by Cagle Cartoons (CC).

The first piece by the former Democratic presidential candidate and Vermont governor appeared yesterday. In it, Dean called for electronic voting to be shelved until 2006 or until it's "reliable and will allow recounts."

Syndicate founder Daryl Cagle told E&P he contacted Dean through a mutual friend. One reason why Dean agreed to write the column was his interest in CC's reach -- more than 600 newspapers subscribe to the service in English. All clients get all of CC's features, and then decide which ones to publish.

Cagle said he doesn't yet know how many of the 600-plus papers will run Dean, who founded the Democracy for America political action committee after leaving the presidential race. But Cagle did note that a number of CC clients had asked for a liberal columnist to go along with the syndicate's two more conservative writers -- talk-radio host and presidential son Michael Reagan and former Clinton-administration advisor and Fox News analyst Dick Morris.

1. Why the **** do they call Dick Morris ...

a "former Clinton-administration advisor"? Morris was always a right-wing political operative. I never understood why Clinton hired him. but when Morris made his bimbo calls on a government phone it was obvious to me that he was pulling a deliberate dirty trick designed to make the Clintons look bad.

8. Read Robert Reich

The Clinton inner circle abandoned Reich, then and now the best embodiment of the Democratic Party's long-ago glory, for the sleazy consultations of Morris.

The administration's subsequent descent into the gutter of right wing policy is largely what made Clinton, in Michael Moore's words, "the greatest Republican president we ever had."

10. Yeah, Moore's take is pretty close to mine.

I like Reich, too.

6. Great news!

We need his dead-on penchant for truth-telling, and without him in the race anymore, he has an even more viable voice, IMO.

You go, Dr. Dean!
