Democrats Pissed At Howard Dean

So we're not the only ones, eh?

From the Drudge Report:

DEAN UNDER FIRE FROM PARTY DEMS; NEARLY ALL CASH SPENT
Mon Jan 30 2006 10:52:31 ET

Democratic leaders on Capitol Hill are privately bristling over Howard Dean’s management of the Democratic National Committee and have made those sentiments clear after new fundraising numbers showed he has spent nearly all the committee’s cash and has little left to support their efforts to gain seats this cycle, ROLL CALL reports.

Congressional leaders were furious last week when they learned the DNC has just $5.5 million in the bank, compared to the Republican National Committee’s $34 million.

Senate and House Minority Leaders Harry Reid (Nev.) and Nancy Pelosi (Calif.), along with the Senate and House campaign committee chairmen Charles Schumer (N.Y.) and Rahm Emanuel (Ill.), have made their concerns -- directly or indirectly -- known to Dean, claims the paper.

Emanuel was particularly upset last week upon seeing the latest DNC numbers.

“A lot of people are scratching their heads as to what’s going on,” said one senior Democratic aide.

Another Democratic source familiar with the party fundraising apparatus said there is “obvious displeasure” among the leaders.

Here is the article referenced by Drudge. And no, I'm not a subscriber; I couldn't acquire the full piece.

So Dean's not just a loon -- he's a mismanaging loon.

Whilst I'm here, let's review some of Dean's Greatest Verbal Hits:

-- Republicans don't understand the lives of hard-working Americans because they "never made an honest living in their lives."

-- Republicans are "a pretty monolithic party. They all behave the same. They all look the same. It's pretty much a white Christian party." -- true, huh, Neo, Soc?

-- The Dems vs. the GOP: "This is a struggle of good and evil. And we're the good."

-- Republican leaders are "the ayatollahs of the right wing."

-- At least Dean was honest. Once. He said: "I hate Republicans."

-- In a radio interview with San Antonio station WOAI on December 5, 2005, Dean said the "idea that we're going to win the war in Iraq is an idea which is just plain wrong."
