Fucking submit, Howie.

I hear tell that Howard Dean will not drop out of the race for the Democratic nomination -- at least not just yet -- because John Kerry allegedly fucked one of his interns, as The Drudge Report so politely informs us. (See this Slate article for some humor about his bullshit.)

Dean has only marginally more of a shot of being the next President of the United States as my favorite gnome, Dennis Kucinich. Why this last-minute (or after-the-fact, as it were, considering that he has no chance, not little chance, of getting the Democratic nomination) attempt to come out on top from Howie? Doesn't he see that the bullshit he is spewing forth now will only hurt his own party's top candidate in the election?

It's obvious to everyone that Kerry will get the nomination. Even if, as Little Denny K. maintains, no one gets his 50% of the votes and the primary goes all the way to the convention, Kerry will be in even better shape. The convention is in Boston this year, and those fine Massachusetts folks still love their John Kerry as the war hero who had prostate surgery last year and who will perform much-needed surgery on our nation, including bringing our boys back home.

For his part, Dean needs to take one for the team. And that means rolling his sleeves down, putting his jacket back on, growing up, getting behind the Democratic party's leading man and -- above all -- shutting the fuck up. Or if he hates Kerry so much, he can go join the dark side and get behind Bush.

So what are we to do? Go to this link and ask Buddha.
