Dean Cut Through All The Crap This Morning

If you missed Howard Dean on Wolf Blitzer's show this morning, Atrios has the link to the best part of it. Dean tore apart all of the GOP's lies on how the Abramoff Scandal is also a Democrat Scandal, and it was glorious.

Wolf's frustration at the end of the interview was particularly enjoyable. Blitzer had obviously bought into all of the Republican bullshit on the Abramoff Affair, and he clearly did not take kindly to Dean telling him where the bear goes through the buckwheat on this particular scandal.

UPDATE: The transcript can be found here.

UPDATE II: This is pretty funny:

White House aides are trying to identify all the photos that may exist of President Bush and lobbyist Jack Abramoff together, Time reports.

"Bracing for the worst, Administration officials obtained from the Secret Service a list of all the times Abramoff entered the White House complex, and they scrambled to determine the reason for each visit." According to one aide who has seen the list, Abramoff attended Hanukkah and holiday events at the White House. Press secretary Scott McClellan said Abramoff might also have attended large gatherings with Bush.

Bush certainly has reason for concern. As the L.A. Times noted last summer, "[a] U.S. grand jury in Guam opened an investigation of controversial lobbyist Jack Abramoff more than two years ago, but President Bush removed the supervising federal prosecutor and the inquiry ended soon after."
