Howard Dean is actually the most in touch with his base of all D.C. Democrats because he speaks to them the secret language of Madman Boogabooga. Republicans are racist/ignorant/evil. This is actually not ineffective. It’s a language that quells the base and would scare the center if they followed it more closely, but they can’t because it’s not heavily reported because “Dean Says Something Crazy” is no longer news. …
Democratic leaders in Washington are in a worse position than Republican leaders in Washington. Neither likes their base, really, and both think they are smarter. But the Democrats think, deep down, that their base is barking mad. The Republicans don’t. They just think their base is a bore.
“Madman Boogabooga is just a dialect, man!”
