Dean Harder on DeLay than BinLaden

Howard Dean is at it again:

“I think he’s guilty . . . of taking trips paid for by lobbyists, and of campaign-finance violations during his manipulation of the Texas election process,” Dean said.

The remarks reflected no retreat from Dean’s comment Saturday to Massachusetts Democrats that “I think Tom DeLay ought to go back to Houston, where he can serve his jail sentence.”

Howard Dean is so far gone that even Barney Frank is saying he’s nuts.

Fellow Democrat Barney Frank, a liberal Massachusetts congressman, said Monday on television that he considered the comment “very unfair.”

“I think it was inappropriate,” Frank said. “I’m a great critic of Tom DeLay’s . . . but to say that he’s a criminal, at this point there’s no basis for that.”

And DeLay’s office has pointed out the following quote by as a comparison.

“I’ve resisted pronouncing a sentence before guilt is found,” Dean said during the 2004 Democratic primary campaign. “I still have this old-fashioned notion that even with people like Osama, who is very likely to be found guilty, we should do our best not to, in positions of executive power, not to prejudge jury trials.”
