Dean received one of his biggest ovations after a heckler asked what he'd do to reduce the abortion rate. He suggested universal health care for children, sex education that isn't just abstinence-based, and finally, "We're going to tell all those white boys who run the Republican Party to stay out of our bedrooms."

Governor Dean had to work hard to screw up that reply. How universal health care for children and sex education that isn't abstinence-based will reduce abortions is not all that clear to me. Then, to make matters worst, he throws in a racial slur on top of a liberal shibboleth that has become an idiotic rallying cry for the abortionist wing of the Democratic Party. Does this man sound Presidential to anyone?
