MEAN DEAN: Howard Dean's appearance on "Hardball" the other night has already been torn to shreds in various corners of the Blogosphere, whether it was his reference to Russia as "The Soviet Union," his pledge to break up Fox News, or his bright idea to send Bill Clinton to negotiate in the Middle East. But of all that, I think this is my favorite part:
MATTHEWS: As we used to say in the Catholic church, is there a modicum of social value to George W. Bush? Is there anything good about this president you could say for the history books that you believe in?
DEAN: I am sure there is, but I’m not in that mode to think that way just at this particular time.
