Howard Dean, Political Gladiator

In in appearance on MSNBC, DNC Chairman Howard Dean was asked why he refused to debate GOP Chairman Ken Mehlman on the cable news networks. His answer: that "the spectacle of the debate overwhelms the desire to get the message out." He then criticizes television news in general as "infotainment."

Wait a sec. Anyone who knows anything about the media or watches any cable news networks knows that the whole reporting system is shallow, raucous and over-simplified. The roles of the DNC and RNC chairmen--go on and score some political points--were practically made for the cable news networks.

But enough of that. You want to know the real reason Howard Dean won't face Ken Mehlman? He can't pronounce "gladiatorial conquest" to save his life. Watch it at the link above. It's hilarious.
