Howard Dean: Harry Reid "In Trouble"

Now I know why Howard Dean has avoided FoxNews Sunday for so long. In his maiden appearance as DNC Chair on FNS, Howard Dean was a disaster - well, at least to Harry Reid.

Upon questioning from Chris Wallace about Democratic campaign donations from Jack Abramoff clients, Dean reiterated that it was a purely Republican scandal because Democrats, when they accepted donations, did not help Abramoff clients in any way, through letters, meetings or otherwise. He said further that, if any Democrats did lobby for Abramoff clients while accepting donations, they would be "in trouble" (or perhaps "deep trouble").

Dean should have done his research before speaking. Later in the show, Chris Wallace read the details of a Washington Post article that points out Harry Reid's actions, which, according to Dean, would be serious cause for concern. While Dean didn't mention Reid, I don't think Reid will be too happy with Dean's appearance.

Iowa Voice has the details on WaPo and Harry Reid/Abramoff.

Newsmax has excerpts of the transcript here. This is big - if the media cares.
