Howard Dean with Brokaw: 1st half of speech was good...2nd half she sounded like Cheney.

I do hate quoting Newsbusters, but they have the video and transcript which I have not seen anywhere else. Been gone all afternoon and missed it. At least they cover it, though they disapprove.

Dean with Brokaw about Palin

Video at the link.

TOM BROKAW: What did you think of Sarah Palin last night?

HOWARD DEAN: I think the first half was terrific. I thought she really laid out who she was. I was fascinated. The second half, she sounded like Dick Cheney, she really did. The same old attack stuff, the same old canards about Democrats that mostly weren't true.

BROKAW: But from a tonal point of view, and an introduction of herself to the country, pretty successful speech.

DEAN: You know, I sort of do an informal focus group. My wife has a doctor's office in Burlington and five women work for her and some of them are Republicans. They all said pretty much just what I said: they thought that the first half of the speech was really interesting and that she was kind of mean in the second half of the speech.

Okay, Newsbuster doesn't like it but I think it's funny. Hope someone puts the whole interview up.

Way to go, Howard Dean.
