"I performed for Howard Dean about a month and a half ago, and I really loved him. So I'm very disappointed he f***ed it up ... It's over. He's finished. He lost his cool. He's too reactive and he blew it. He has terrible Scorpio anger and he hasn't learned how to harness it yet. So this will be a great spiritual lesson for him." - comedian Sandra Bernhard to the Portland, Ore., gay newspaper Just Out (courtesy of Rex Wockner). I disagree. I think Gov Dean failed because he was endorsed by these two people: Sandra Bernhard and Al Gore.
